AICN & Twitch Present International Eye Candy: MICMACS A TIRE-LARIGOT, SASORI, Van Damme, TREEVENGE, And More!!
International Eye Candy
July 21, 2009
Yes, boys and girls, it is once again Todd from Twitch here with another edition of the best and brightest from around the globe for your amusement and education. I'm actually in Korea wrapping up jury duty at PiFan at the moment, but that doesn't mean we don't have plenty of the good stuff for you this week. No, on the contrary, we've got a dozen slices of cinematic gold for you. We've got Jason Eisener's complete foliage-revenge picture TREEVENGE! We've got Filipino superheroes! We've got the latest from the star of CHOCOLATE! And, yes, we've even got some Jean-Claude Van Damme. Life is good.
We begin in France with the mad genius responsible for DELICATESSEN and CITY OF LOST CHILDREN. Yes, I know we've already pointed you to a whopping eight teasers for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's MICMACS A TIRE-LARIGOT, but what can I say? That just wasn't enough for him and he's now gone and released a full length trailer as well.
Get your fill of MICMACS here
And off we go to Japan for the latest from Mamoru Hosoda's SUMMER WARS. Hosoda has become the new golden child of Japanese animation on the back of his stellar THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME, with the entire creative team reuniting for this one. As with GIRL it's a scifi tinged, teen-oriented adventure, this one telling the story of a collision between earth and an alternate dimension. The official trailers so far have all focused on the earth-based part of the film but now we've got a fresh music video that takes you into the alternate reality. Pretty much brilliant. And the music aint bad, either.
Join the WARS here
Any fans of the classic Japanese cult FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION films? These were huge influences not only on KILL BILL but on pretty much every female revenge picture made since the 1970s and a couple years back a Japanese-Hong Kong co-production titled SASORI aimed to restart the franchise by going right back to the roots. It's been a long time waiting for this thing to be released but, finally, there are releases coming in both the UK and Japan, which means trailers! And, yes, that is Simon Yam playing the wise martial arts master.

I promised Van Damme and Van Damme I shall deliver in the form of a new promo spot for THE EAGLE PATH, the new film written, directed by and starring the man himself. This is a pretty straight throwback to the 1980s action style and one that you may already be familiar with thanks to an earlier, very raw promo prepared for Cannes. They've had some time to work on it now and while I don't think it's still quite done this new reel is a whole lot more polished.
Walk the EAGLE PATH here
And now for something completely different …
We leave people getting punched in the face for the time being to take a look at the trailer for STRIGOI, an upcoming vampire comedy that puts an unusual spin on things by going right back to the original Romanian vampire mythos rather than using the more familiar versions we typically see on screen. And better than that, it actually looks quite funny. Amazing how so many comedies forget about that part …
Check out the STRIGOI trailer here
Ah, you should have known that I couldn't stay away from people getting punched in the face for too long …
RAGING PHOENIX is the latest from CHOCOLATE star Jija Yanin, a film that adds a touch of romance and a whole lot of hip hop dancing to the mix. And also people getting punched in the face. And also Yanin proving that she's just obscenely bendy. We ran the first teaser for this one last time out, I believe, but it's back in the ol' IEC by virtue of a new 3+ minute trailer. And it's subtitled, even!

Nobody gets punched in the face at all in the teaser for Teddy Chen's BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS, which comes as a surprise since it's a new, big budget action epic that stars pretty much everybody who matters in the current Hong Kong film world, including man of many fists Donnie Yen. There's been serious conflict on the set of this one – director Chen actually walked off an was replaced for two weeks before things were patched up – but it demands attention thanks to the scope of it – they actually built a massive standing set of Hong Kong as it was at the turn of the century – and the cast.
Are you a BODYGUARD or an ASSASSIN? Pick a side here.
People are kind of getting punched in the face in the teaser for Topel Lee's Filipino superhero film WAPAKMAN but the odd thing is you really can't tell by what. Trust me, you want to watch this one. Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao has the lead in the one and rumor is that the WWE's Dave Batista and the lead Barbie from the Pussycat Dolls also have parts.
Fear the wrath of WAPAKMAN!
Austinites will get the chance to see Spanish animated short ALMA soon since it's been announced as part of the 2009 Fantastic Fest lineup and to give you an early tease we've got just the briefest taste for you here. There's not really anything here to tip off the story but what the teaser does do is make it very clear that director Rodrigo Blaas is an exceptional talent.
Find the ALMA teaser here
That's one hell of a teaser image for Gabe Ibanez's HIERRO there and believe me when I say that the film itself – recently premiered in Cannes - is positively jammed with images every bit as striking. Don't believe me? The trailer has finally arrived and it is tasty stuff indeed. Need more convincing? The producers were also behind PAN'S LABYRINTH and THE ORPHANAGE. Get to it.
Find the HIERRO trailer here.
Hold on to your seats! The trailer for BLACK SHEEP director Jonathan King's UNDER THE MOUNTAIN has arrived to show us that King has more in his bag of tricks than just angry, man eating sheep. This one is a family-friendly fantasy adventure based on a popular Kiwi novel and I'm rather pleased that it'll be screening here in PiFan later this afternoon. And don't worry, Sam, I'll be taking your advice.
Head UNDER THE MOUNTAIN here!
And, finally, we conclude with TREEVENGE, the massive cult hit short from HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN director Jason Eisener. This one got the audience roaring at Sundance, Fantastic Fest and too many others to list and we've got the whole thing for your viewing pleasure. It's a blood-drenched ride, though, so you may want to be aware of where you are, exactly, when watching it.

James Cameron sodomized my optical cavity! -
In a TB you were saying as part of your argument that people who post with "first" should also be banned, remember? Which one was it?Anyone see EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE? With Alyssa Milano (Who's the Boss) Jordan Ladd (Cheryl Ladds kid)? Kind of a soft core porn horror vampire movie?
-
I tried to watch Treevage but my computer said no.
-
If I watched all these trailers and Treevage?
-
And new comic reviews in one day! OHHH how happy you all must be!

When I went to cut and paste that link from the last twitch thread I somehow ended up copying the whole twich thread and pasted it into the comment box. I wonder what would have happened if I had just hit Post thinking my link came ou fine?
-
I can't wait to see the video of him either trash talking fan boys for being nerds, or him getting in an argument with some fan boy. You could bet money on it happeneing.
-
Yes, the trailer doesn't really do much, but I too am quite intrigued with that cast.Under the Mountain, even for a family friendly flick, didn't do much for me either.
-
That short is WAY too close, for my taste, to my short film from back in college.
-
The one tree must have been named AVATAR because...it totally FUCKED THAT GUYS EYEBALLS!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It was the World War Z story from last week. And actually, I was not arguing that those who say FIRST should be banned. I only compared what NeilF was doing to those who continually do the FIRST thing, and you don't see them getting banned.
-
I know what you mean, I didn't phrase it right in my post.
-
Better be worth it.
-
You can find it on YouTube. Very interesting. Johnny Depp narrates the trailer, but it sounds absolutely nothing like him. And how old is this Alice chick supposed to be? When she shrinks she loses her dress (it doesn't shrink with her).
-
Same fucking Charlie and the C&C Chocolate Factory crap. He is just redoing the Disney movie with live actors...but there is so much CGI it just looks like a CGI movie redo.
-
I have been posting over at the old one like a friggin' idiot. Now I've got to cut-and-paste my last comments over here.
-
But Series, you insinuated locksbrokenleg is a young guy. I see him as someone in his early thirties, bitter because he once paid money to see Breathless, couldn't understand it at all and felt like an idiot when his date started talking to the guy in the turtleneck about how the Godard captured the essence of those old Republic crime movies perfectly and how he was able to use all the tools of the cinematic palette to demonstrate the power of cinema. Since then he has sworn War against smart films.
-
I got your post. I hate how people get away with actual arguing here, but just putting crap like. NO YOUR GAY! and then nothing else. It undermines the importance of arguing.
-
I posted that there was a new TWITCH up and running, sorry you missed it!
-
fuck me I would pay far more money to see a feature by Jason Eisener than Robert Rodriguez any day.
-
It must be said once more.
-
The world is a wonderful place.
-
Hey man, Im sorry you feel that way about the film we made. I havent seen your short,
I would like too though, do you have a link?
take care -
I might respond. But I have a hard time believing it would actually be him. Or at least, that he would give himself his real name. Unless he really posts under another name and didn't want to reveal his identity.
-
Im not sure how i can prove it. I never felt the need to hide my name. I stand by my word. If you have your film online, hit me up on myspace or facebook, i would really like to see it.
-
Just because that would be cool for D. Vader. Maybe he'll love his short and put it on the Treevenge DVD or something. Crazier things have happened.
-
If it turns out to be the real Eisener see if you can convince him to let me interview him for AIBN.
-
I've looked you up, if it is you and not a fellow Talkbacker messing with me, on Facebook, but you have a restricted profile. Dunno if I can send you a message through that or not. But I will try. Because I've been talking with all my friends who were part of the cast and crew for the short and they agreed that I should try and contact you in some way and, in the least, show you our version. And Conti, if it IS him, I will try and see if he's up for a wild and crazy interview for AIBN.
-
of the guy who ran Disney? If so Conti ask him which private island his pops owns he's emailing from.
-
Who directed Sahara and just directed the remake of George Romero's "The Crazies" starring Timothy Olyphant. I have a friend who PA'd on that film shoot and he said Breck Eisner does not know what he's doing. Said he's a terrible director that went over-schedule daily, never getting all his shots bc he never knew what he wanted to do or how to work with actors. Bleh.
-
at jasoneisener@hotmail.com
Im not sure why my facebook is doing that.
sorry about that.
Continentalop, id love to talk.
Xiphos_2 not related to the guy, but would love to share some words with him.
-
And then in the background, the mother screaming "Motherfucker!" to a tree. That whole thing really cracked me up. And I love how nonsensically pissed off the lumberjacks are.
-
I can confirm that that's definitely the real Jason Eisener.
-
Very bloody good! Excellent production values, wicked ending. I loved the opening set-up too.
-
Go to AintitBaleNews.com and check out the site to see what kind of stuff we report and write about there. If you want to see a sample of my writing, I did the story about the 90-minute ass-to-mouth horror film called The Human Centipede.
Just giving you fair warning but if I did interview you it would be completely legit and no stupid questions. I promise. No hatchet job or ambush. The guys there are brandishing out and I am huge movie fan. -
I still don't believe its you.
-
You stole my idea for making the screen name: Jason Eisener.
-
You can check out my movie. Not my best work shot on digital camera. You can have it though if you want it. http://tinyurl.com/lbppyn http://tinyurl.com/lqow3f
-
I don't even know what movies are and even though I got black out drunk during Sahara on opening weekend, I could have told you he suck didily ucks.
-
Pretty fucking stoked about it really. Its got Sam Rockwell and Tracey Morgan, pretty much the best two working actors around these days. Its going to be the smash hit of the summer.
-
Micheal Eisner is fucking making this film? Totally missing the boat on a sweet children's film or trilogy involving Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry. AKA Monster Squad 2: Die Harder.
-
Was a PA on Tango and Cash, do you think he was in charge of oiling up Sly every 20 minutes?
-
So you gonna read Blackest Night or what? Also you ever read Invincible? http://tinyurl.com/lqn4ql
-
The newest issue of Werewolves Vs. Vampires On the Moon, was a little bit better but still fucking sucked. Wasting a sweet idea like that.
-
I don't know what the fuck the problem is but everytime I try to go to MyMavra my fucking computer freezes. Anyone else having this problem.
I'll probably read Blackest Night at the comic book store - I am a cheap bastard. Plus it annoyed the shit out of me when I saw that every fucking dead guy who was resurrected and got a ring was basically a dead superhero.
Fuck. Super heroes are just like the cool cliche in school. They only care about themselves and only invite each other. Never a normal fucking guy. -
Anyway I can see your short as well? Curious to see how close it is to Mr. Eisener's. I will be an impartial judge and tell you if I think he is plagiarizing or if it just is a strange coincidence (kind of like Dante's Peak and Volcano).
If you don't mind showing it to me (the short you sick-o), contact me at Continentalop.lee@gmail.com
-
Damn it. I wanted to continue my argument with Series why I like Robin. And it doesn't involve me loving Dick...
-
Mymavra not working? Hmmmmmm. I'll check with IT and see whats wrong. Yeah the whole superheros getting together all the time is annoying. You think they would have some human friends. But that Green Latern Prolog is fucking good. Its an origin story and its awesome. I didn't know shit about the Green Latern or the Black Hand but it was an awesome psycho serial killer origin story. Like Rob Zombie Halloween Origin story good. And the art is ace in it as well.
-
The Blackest Night Prolog is fucking bad ass as well. Though it is the same final shot in the newest deadpool. I want both of them on a Baby-T.
-
Come on that discription you gave about Batman and Robin made it sound like Robin was a cancer patient and got to visit's Batman's Neverland Ranch.
-
Damn there goes my 150 pounds out the window.(sorry don't know how to do the English pound sign)So does that mean Ian Bell is being called up to fill the hole at batsman?
-
3-1 loss? Tell me the Mets at least took the series?
-
The English pound sign (£) is alt or option on a Mac. I don't know what it is on a PC.
-
I have a "sorry, can't find it" sign pop up.
I hate Time-Warner cable. -
The one this week, or the one last week where I said Batman is secretly Dick Grayson's father and the murderer of his parents?
-
And why should I know him?
-
Joshua Swaneys +1?
-
KP is indeed out of the ashes with an achilles injury. And Ian Bell is expected to come in to the team. Which is good news for me because Bell is shit.
-
I'd rather get devoured by GIANT PIG! Where the fuck is that guy anyway? And now that I think about it, where's Danny? Has he finally given up on our sorry asses?
-
That's what I figured when I read the Ashes update and remembered that Jarv continually threw Bell under the bus.
-
Any idea?Danny can be found at AIBN.
-
MARSUPIAL MOLESTING MOTHERFUCKER. Fucking hell. I am not at all fucking happy at this. Stupid cunt did this chasing the cash in the fucking IPL. SELFISH FUCKING YARPIE CUNT. NOBODY IN THIS COUNTRY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING IPL YOU TOTAL WASTE OF SPACE. YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING DIPSHIT, THE ASHES ARE THE FUCKING PINNACLE OF YOUR SPORT AND YOU'VE FUCKED YOURSELF. Twat. The fucking IPL isn't even proper cricket. And as for Ian "The Sherminator" Bell, the less said about that the better. To be absolutely fair, Bell isn't shit. He's technically very good. Unfortunately, he's got less spine than an earthworm and is guaranteed to score 20 immaculate runs and then get out. They should call up someone like Denly, who is at least an unknown quantity. Or best yet- Trescothick, but promise him it's only for 3 tests, and only because it's a fucking emergency.
-
Eats Pietersen. Bad Achilles and all.
-
fuck that. I saw the trailer for that this morning and colour me underwhelmed.
-
Do you have GIANT PIG hog-tied (pretty good, eh?) in the basement and servicing your sexual needs on a daily basis?
-
Stop shouting sibling-fucker!
-
Just promise him ear muffs and a baseball.
-
If I had a GIANT PIG here I could feed the village and they would make me the Great Gazoo or something like that. Maybe you should call your buddy GIANT PIG and ask him where he's been?
-
I have nothing to do with GIANT PIG. I was going to log in as that, but someone beat me to it. I thought it was you.
-
Slightly.
-
I just scan read that post. D'oh. Never mind.
-
So sibling-fucker has jumped on the bandwagon with Xi. Keep running on those wheels, lads. One day you might generate enough electricity to power a thought.
-
Aside from Strauss and (maybe) collingwood none of the others are any good. Worse than that they're all basically defensive players. KP was our only attacking batsman. Prior does whack it about, but he's basically a slogger, ditto fred and broad. It's a disaster. Especially as they will recall Ian fucking Bell. The weakest minded player to play for England ever, a man that averages a mighty 25 against Australia (which is woeful- that's a pitcher's average in baseball).
-
Jul 23, 2009 4:06:47 AM CDT
Jarv was always batshit crazy...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
but his obvious man-crush on KP has toppled him over the edge.
-
that's poor. Did you scramble what passes for an Australian's brain molesting puppies last night?
-
Second weakest minded ever to play for England. Weakest minded... The weakest ever fucking player (weakest in all facets of the game) ever to get selected for any country in history has to be that pathetic little twerp Geraint Jones. He was embarrasing.
-
Jul 23, 2009 4:13:12 AM CDT
Unfortunately, this country has...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
no discernible wildlife to insert alongside "-fucker", so I make do with the facts. Oh, wait... Fox-fucker!
-
Because "fox" is slang for a hot woman. "Foxy Woman", "What a fox", that kind of thing.
-
getting a wee bit defensive my friend and like the immortal bard omce wrote, the lady doth protest to much me thinks. Haha classic litirature smack, good times.
-
obsessive crush on that useless bag of cocks Phil Hughes? Who's an ugly cunt as well. Just like your entire team.
-
disgrace. Fucking club pro, and I've no idea why he was selected.
-
That isn't an insult. You dimwitted product of incest. You stick to fisting wallabies.
-
I like the fact that you use that "doth protest" quote immediately after anyone actually denies anything. The lady doth quoteth too much me thinks. Judge: "How does the defendant plead?" Defense attorney: "The defendant pleads 'not guilty'." Judge: "The lady doth protest too much me thinks"
-
I watched Kull the Conqueror and Gone in 60 seconds last night. The first one is unquestionably wank, alleviated by a few moments of accidental comedy, and the second one isn't as bad as I rememebered it being.
-
A list of Jarv insults... {insert australian animal here}-fucker. Convict {insert australian animal here}-mollester something about incest {insert australian animal here}-fister And repeat! hehehe
-
GI60S is a compete steaming load of shit with a pretty damn entertaining last 20 minutes. The car chase I mean. Not the showdown in the steam and flame factory.
-
Take your issues with grammer up with Mr. Shakespear, he wrote it, I just copied.
-
Saw the trailer. It just does nothing for me. I remember the days when I was really excited to see a new Tim Burton flick. I think Charlie and The Chocolate Factory was the last nail in the coffin. I will end up seeing it. But I'm just not very interested.
-
No issue with grammar. The issue is your overuse of it.
-
The Cage version sucked rancid ass the orginal was one fine caper flick.
-
...of movies I absolutely despise. Fucking stupid plot, dumb characters, lame situations and horrible acting. Cage and Jolie are fucking terrible in it and hammy as hell. Only Delroy Lindo, Robert Duvall and Chi McBride project any sort of charisma.
And the most annoying and irritating character is that little fucking black kid who has to act all hip-hop (one of the few good jokes is Chi calling him a "ghetto smurf"). The character is so annoying I suspect that a white supremacist wrote the character to make people hate young black men. -
I look at it as context.
-
The original has flaws, but they are more than made up by the energy and the daring. Good flick.
-
Only the one with The Hairpiece.
-
Is a great product of 70's cinema with excellent cars but like Conti noted it has flaws but the good parts outweigh the bad by a large margin.
-
Are three things that have really taken a hit in modern movies. All three are things that most actors can't do or movies can't find someone to do really good so they cover it up with flashy edits, camera tricks and special effects.
-
Probably safer to use flashy edits and SFX than to have people zooming around and maybe crashing and dying.
-
or more accurately car chases rendered in/with CGI look like dog shit.
-
Jul 23, 2009 5:26:51 AM CDT
Best Car Chase I've seen in recent films
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
We Own The Night Fucking brilliant, terrifying, realistic and unique.
-
These days they're all created in the editing room. Paul Greengrass' Bourne sequels is an example. That applies to car chases too actually. Can't think of any dance numbers in his films though.
-
and what's with calling the main villain "The Carpenter" Lame.
-
I fucking hate the editing style that's prevalent. It makes me feel ill and I can't see a damned thing that's going on.
-
Hell no! Lost 2 of 3, the other loss being yet another fucking shutout.Dark days have fallen upon the Mets. And now a story came out that one of their stupid executives challenged some minor leaguers to a fight? For all that is holy and 2for2true...why the fuck does my franchise have to be such a fucking laughingstock? It would have been great if he called them all shitheels and threatened to stab them in the mouth with a #2 pencil.
-
aside from Ghetto smurf, and it's Chi beating up the Car Jacker telling him that he needs a rolemodel.
-
because at least I use different words. You're even lazier than I am. List of Droid insults: 1)sibling fucker and that's it. Anyway, I feel nothing more than a bit of sad pity for you. It must be tough being the first generation of Aussies for 75 years to taste defeat at Lords.
-
last night, but it started too damn late for me these days. I really like that movie, only saw through where they throw Alex into the stockade after refusing to move his officers in the morning from the field there to work. Even with a damn machine gun tripod thingy aimed at them.
-
But it's not a shade of the pity I have for you for having had to deal with the pathetic shame of having your home ground pwned by Australia for 75 years. Not to mention the embarassment I feel for you as you now delude yourself into feeling as though you can use it as an insult.
-
Australians. Short on imagination and vocabulary long on attitude.
-
you poor little tasmanian devil licker.
-
me and Mrs. Jarv were talking about it, but can anyone think of a film with Angelina Jolie in the lead where she gives a good performance? Girl Interrupted doesn't count and I don't think she's good in it anyway.
-
crushing envy that they aren't British for a while. So I feel I should bring it back. Droid is upset because he secretly longs to be British and this ritual beasting being handed out to his beloved Baggy Greens is just proof of his intrinsic colonial inferiority. Always worth bringing up, because as soon as he strenuously denies it, which he will, and includes a list of reasons why Britain sucks (totally ignoring the fact that he voluntarily came to live here and is thinking about citizenship)I can wheel out the old classic "protests too much" line that Xi used.
-
I had an open goal of bringing out the football chants in the Lord's test and I missed it. That's most unlike me. It must have been down to the shock of England winning there.
-
I must have hit quite a nerve! Da bear be angwee!
-
and the English, unlike some despicable colonial gaolbirds that I could mention, are inherently gentlemen and do not do that kind of thing.
-
Jul 23, 2009 7:22:14 AM CDT
But the bears angry because the truth hurts.

hehehehe
-
This is all par for the course. I'm just in the unusual position of England being in front. And therefore a bit confused about matters. Remind me what the score is again?
-
weirdo. Are you practicing your "special" voice that lures children away again? It's behaviour like that that got you fuckers sent to that prison in the first place.
-
Was good in The Changeling. Surprisingly.
-
Must've got you riled up.
-
I'm surprised at that. Mow, tell us where you hid Madeleine McCann's poor dead corpse.
-
Which I'm not troubled to admit. Because we failed to get a fucking tailender out, then got outplayed in the second test. Quite simple really. Even an imbecile northener like you could understand that.
-
I'm still waiting for your cheque. Your order will be fulfilled upon payment.
-
Was ok in Hackers, from what I remember.
-
Jerry Bruckheimer will buy your soul and make a movie of your life that's flashier then the opening of any of the 5 CSI's. So flashy that it will burn off your eyelids therefore making you incapable of closing your eyes when you can’t take anymore of the flashiness.
-
you sick, sick little man, and if you keep trying to make me buy her then I shall be informing the Police of your whereabouts.
-
I swear to god the next fucking news article I read that’s a report about something some god damn celebrity said on Twitter, I am going to ram my fist through the screen all the way to the screen of the reporter’s and strangle them silly. That has to be a new position now in news media outlets, Twitter Tracker. Hi, my name is Nigel Merryweather and I got a degree in journalism specializing in Twitter and Facebook updates.
-
hehehehehe. I feel you need reminding at every opportunity.
-
"Just taken a massive shit"
-
She even existed.
-
Shit like Facebook and Myspace and twitter and hotmail, is that they started as fun places to stay in touch with your friends. Now they only exist to promote yourself.
-
Why didn't that movie come out this summer. Man I can't wait to see it.
-
there's some absolute fucking bollocks that gets a ridiculously large number of screens. Shit like The Seeker: The Dark is Rising got over 3000 fucking screens and made 3.75m What fucking good little film got stiffed for a release so that Fox could swamp multiplexes with dreck that no-one wanted? of that list 8 of the 20 (40 fucking percent)worst opening films are Fox. How the fuck does Rothman have a job? Disgraceful.
-
That's just an email account. I loathe and despise Facebook and Myspace etc. "I've got 24million friends" "No you don't, cunt."
-
low performing list. BUt am pleased to discover that it made $13m in America alone. Considering it looks like it cost a fiver, that ain't bad.
-
Pretty much just a promotion for FOX's show of the same name.
-
He cups.
-
it must be fucking easy to get a film passed by their Quality Control: "Philibrick, get me the phone. This script is gold" "Which Script is it sir" "It's the one with the married couple that get divorced because she catches him licking her dead mother. It's heartwarming, but they get back together so give us that feelgood ending that Americans need in this post 9/11 world" "Sir, I think that sounds dreadful""SHADDUP Philibrick, I don't pay you to think. Now fetch me a fucking bagel. And don't forget the film"
-
I just can't muster up any excitement for the new movie.
-
The more I can get behind it. Before I was by myself in the short movie was enough. But it looks like Jackson knows there is a bigger story there. I should know to trust the Jackson, I'm the only asshole who likes Kong all 4 hours of it.
-
having rewatched the first one recently, it isn't that good. It's passbale enough, but there isn't anything in it really that makes me want to go back to it.
-
A good comic book movie is 90% the directors doing. But Ironman owes all of its goodness to RDJ, if they had casted anyone else it just would have sucked. I don't get this Jon Fav love. He is not a good director, first off he can't make a real bad guy.
-
This will keep you entertain for a while, especially if you have cats, or hate cats. http://tinyurl.com/2jyx8u
-
and yes, it's all because of RDJ. I love the "growth" of the suit has he pieces it together bit by bit. And yet, Obidiah turned to clinically insane too quickly, wanting to get inside his own suit. Was he a good villain for the movie? Nope. I would have much preferred his story continue to build through the movie and crossover to the second movie. I'm not sure what you would have as a "climatic battle" in its place, but not Stane.Wasn't Stane a thorn in Tony's/Iron Man's side for a long period of time?

Totally agree. Like one minute he is kind of buddy buddy with RDJ then the next he wants him dead. Didn't buy it. It would have been cool if just some crazy villain went nuts at the end of Ironman and he saves the day and then we get an unsettling Obidiah reading it in the news paper or something. Then him being the bad guy in the next one. But giant clashing robots sells these days. Ironman's special effects do hold up well on DVD though. It wasn’t like some movies where I thought it was awesome in the theaters then saw it home and it looked like crap....I was underwhelmed both times with the special effects.
-
For someone who looks SO obviously evil, Bridges just didn't pull off the meanicing. I'm trying to think of an crazy ass role that Bridges has been in and I can't think of one. He is just so laid back in everything. Arlington Road is the best I can think of. Anyone else?
-
Is the Hurt Locker ever going to get a full release or what?
-
Watched it twice. First time in the cinema and I liked it a lot. Second time on dvd I was bored out of my mind. I started fidgeting, then looking at the internet. I think i wrote my mum an email during the finale. I ruined the film for myself. And it was only a second fucking viewing! Fucking Indy 4 held up better on a second fucking viewing! And i thought the Obediah transition was smooth. I don't think he "suddenly" went insane. I think he was kind of insane all along, but it never showed until someone threatened his money and power.
-
Saw that last year. Fucking awesome. Probably my favorite film of 2009 so far (since it's officially released in 2009).
-
AHHHH at least that comes out in two weeks. I can watch the movie about my old stomping ground.
-
Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift to understand Fast and Furious?
-
Is actually some movie from the 50's? So I wonder how much of a remake The Fast and the Furious with Paul I don't Watch My movies Walker is?
-
I was surprised to see that it only made US$42m in america.

Paul "I don't Watch My movies" Walker
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Automatically makes him smarter than I gave him credit for.
-
It pretty much disregards 2 and 3.
-
Like Henry Selick lives money wise day to day while he was making Coraline? Seeing that it took about 4 years to make. I mean he probably gets good residual money from Nightmare. I guess the better question would be how did he live while filming Nightmare?
-
Around the 40-60 mil range.
-
But DMTH seemed to get a lot more of a push than most horror.
-
If a horror film break 100 million. It'll do a lot better on DVD, most horror movies do. Drag got as much of a push as crap like Friday/Prom Night/The Strangers/Saw movies.
-
Cost 30 million to make? I wonder if that factors in marketing? If it cost that much to make the movie, I wonder how expensive episodes are.
-
Looks ridiculous, but highly amusing. Pure Emmerich.
-
What sort of stake does he have in his movies? Because if he gets some back end of them, he must have made a shit load of money off of FAHRENHEIT 9/11
-
Jul 23, 2009 9:59:07 AM CDT
Bridges was fucking awesome in Fearless
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I have to watch that again. Haven't seen it in 10-15 years.
-
The Return of the King, cost less then 100 mil to make. Wow. That has to be a fucking hugely successful film. How'd New Line piddle all that away?
-
LOTRROTK less then 100 million, King Kong over 200 million? Hmmmmmm
-
Got released in just 11 theaters over here. Could you imagine seeing that movie at the theater? Then trying to tell your friends to go see it, they wouldn't believe you.

Its interesting and just a bit sad. http://tinyurl.com/lhu5tj

Dead Alive = Brain Dead or Bad Taste?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
And why the change of name?
-
There was a movie two years earlier called Brain Dead, with Bill Pullman.
-
Good Lord that's some beautiful destruction.
-
top film. Not quite as good as bad taste.
-
He's done what, three films since? X-Men, Sleepy Hallow, Ballistic, GI Joe.
-

Those are the kinds of Earthquakes I had nightmares about...
by d.vader
... as a kid. Then I got older and realized earthquakes didn't work like that, rippling the ground, tearing it up into huge crevasses that I could fall into. Thanks Emmerich for bringing that fear back.

Brain Dead, with Bill Pullman
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
In Australia that was called Independence Day. Buddum ching!
-
Bad Taste better then Dead Alive? While Bad Taste is good, it was filmed over 3 years. It doesn't touch I Kick Ass For the Lord.
-
It was made for kids.
-
Putting the wrong names of movies together with other movies? You'd think they'd correct that problem.
-
fingers crossed.
-
"Christ, Derek's gone Apeshit" "Right you intergalactic arseholes, I'm coming for you" Droid beat me to the Brain Dead line. Curse him. Convict clearly stole it off me.
-
When they ask him, "Who would you like to use the force on" he said "I wouldn't because I know that assholes life is worse then what I could make it." He is either talking about Lucas, Christensen, Schwarzenegger or Sinbad, or Ahmed Best. My money is on Ahmed.
-
Que?
-
Doesn't have the internet yet, can't search IMDB.
-
Was from the Jake Lloyd interview.
-
Stop trying to attach yourself to my comedy gold and go back to molesting Sooty and Sweep.
-
I don't think I've ever heard a disscussion with Emmerich before. There is an interview with him on USA today. For such a bombastic style of directing a movie you would think that we would see him talking everywhere.
-
He knows nothing about The Green Hornet.
-
The day I turn 31. The day the world ends.
-
Jul 23, 2009 10:30:43 AM CDT
"He knows nothing about The Green Hornet."
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
It means he knows about as much as me then.
-
legends. Sweep especially. You're just jealous because all you've got is that intergalactic sized cunt Skippy, the wank anitpodean lassie rip off.
-
Who gives a fuck about the Green Hornet? Wasn't it always a shit batman rip off (basing this knowledge entirely on one episode of 60's Adam West Batman I saw the other day), with the only point of interest being that it had Bruce Lee in it?
-
why would you molest them? Have some respect, Jarv. For shame.
-
Hehehe. Arnie made a short video for his Twitter page, asking his constituents for more great ideas on how to solve their budget crisis. But he inexplicably starts the video admiring a giant knife. http://twitvid.io/abv1
-
Your not going to make a movie about the Green Hornet.
-
he's talking about Christiansen. Although he should be writing him thank you notes for being so bad that he's worse than Lloyd.
-
But fucking Goldberg didn't even know that he made an appearence on Batman, probably The Green Horets biggest day. I used to watch the show as a kid. It just sounds like in his interview he doesn't care about the character at all. They probably just wanted to make a superhero movie and probably could only afford the rights to something no one cares about like Green Hornet, just to make their own movie.
-
we don't do things like that to our legends. Not like you beastly lot and skippy (last seen spreadeagled and sorely buggered in Droid's cellar).
-
Really, you can tell it was not a fun experience for the kid at all.
-
Both Billionaires. Both use Gadgets Both meant to be detective geniuses Both have sidekicks, although to be honest Bruce Lee pwns Robin, That's it. Everything I remember about it.
-
How do you explain the CCTV footage of you in Wimbledon Common buggering the wombles? You should be ashamed of yourself.
-
Hope so.
-
Jul 23, 2009 10:43:06 AM CDT
My knowledge of Green Hornet...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
extends to a vague recollection that Bruce Lee was in a tv show.
-
anyway That wasn't me. I suspect that was you on your way home from a busy session cottaging on Clapham Common disguised as me in order to viciously slander my good name. I barely know where Wimbledon is and NEVER go south of the river. I've got a feeling it's somewhere near where you live.
-
There were always rumors that Best was a diva on set and kept trying to steal scenes from Lloyd. One day it actually came to blows.
-
Jarv don't let Continentalop see you saying that, he's got a little man crush on the boy in the yellow tights.
-
Jul 23, 2009 10:48:46 AM CDT
And there's also the incident...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
in Paddington Railway Station where you were caught giving a bear wearing wellington boots a blowjob for a fiver. Did you cop community service for that one?
-
People even knew who Lloyd was in college. I mean he does not look the exact same, he most have let it be known that he was Anakin. In high school he would have been screwed, but college he could have gotten by. Wasn't like fucking TMZ was posting shit about him all day.
-
he just had to pay for the privelege. He's founder member of the Gary Glitter fan club.
-
I did however, shoot Paddington for being a disgrace to bearkind. I had him stuffed and shipped back to Peru. Useless bear cunt.
-
Fight to the death, who would win? I'm surprised Celebrity Death Match never did this.
-
children's entertainment? Seriously, I'm finding it disturbing that you're even thinking up shit like this. Degenerate fucker.
-
I reckon that would be the gayest, least interesting fight ever. 2 soft and stupid bears that tolerate man and don't chomp the annoying kids that insist on perstering them.
-
Had to have a much tougher time going through school then Lloyd did. Lloyd didn't have the I SEE DEAD PEOPLE line that people probably shouted at Harley every day.
-
Jul 23, 2009 10:54:25 AM CDT
I'm not the one constantly trying to bugger them
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
You have serious issues, Jarv. Get yourself sorted before The Teletubbies become innocent victims of your depravity.
-
Any school he went to would have Star Wars geeks who grew up with the prequels and knew who Jake Lloyd was. They'd tell someone and it would spread through the school like wildfire. Everyone would know he was Anakin.
-
there's no arguing with a depraved pervert like you. Interestingly, you seem to be quite content with the fact that you keep Skippy like a gimp and frequently cottage and molest children. Is there anything you won't molest?
-
But he could walk through campus and wouldn't be noticed. Everyone and their mom would know Haley Joel. Like if I saw Jake i wouldn't go... hey You the Jingle all the way kid?
-
and far more virulently than Osment would be
-
Don't try to turn this around. We all know how good your kind are at deflecting accusations. The sooner you come to terms with your serious issues, the better for all those poor little innocent entertainers that just want to put a smile on a childs face. Not a malevolent smirk from some sick bastard northener who's only goal is self-gratification. You need help, Jarv.
-
I'm off. Have a good evening chaps. Jarv, stay away from Paddington Station. Leave that poor bear alone. For gods sake, seek help!
-
a whole host of missing children and a sore bummed region near where Droid lives. Ah-ha Watson, I've clearly solved the case of the Melbourne Molestor. Now to call Scotland Yard.
-
I've got to work tomorrow and I wasn't meant to be. That's shit.
-
I shot him and sent him back to Peru in pieces. I own up to that one. I did catch some degenerate homeless Australian licking a blood stained Duffel coat, but thought nothing of it at the time. I should have paid more attention, then perhaps South London would have been safe.
-
"pedophiles with crispy faces "
-
and on that fuck up, now i've finished rolling my ciggy, I'm off.
-
Just watched Treevenge, and loved it. I am wondering if you ever saw "The Life and Death of a Pumpkin." You can catch it on YouTube. The first half of Treevenge pretty much runs parallel with it.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to release it in 2012 instead of this year? I figure by then the Dale Gribbles of the world will be in a frothy panic over nothing...Like the whole Y2K debacle.2012 would make hugh money off the running scared conspritards in 2012 more so then this year. I don't think Coast to Coast AM has stoked the fires enough yet for the idjits to go nuts.
-
Some fucking day in the future Batman will fight a foe called "The Twitterer".
"Batman, Commissioner Gordon here. We just got an update from The Twitterer. 'Robbing Gotham Central Bank Now."
"That diabolical fiend..."
-
Give Burt Ward credit - when the producers told them about the team up, they originally had Robin BEATING Kato in a fight. Burt Ward was "are you FUCKING serious?"
He wanted to lose to Bruce Lee, but the producers insisted it should at least be a tie. I think he even apologized to Bruce Lee, letting him know it wasn't his decision. -
Maybe they should get Bruce Lee Roy from the Last Dragon.
-
They can't release it in 2012, the world will no longer be here.
-
He befriends you on facebook then kills your account with overloads of invites and applications, but he created an application that attaches your soul to your facebook acount. So when it dies, you die to! ZZZZZIIIIPPP! TO THE BATMOBILE!
-
So they could open the movie before that date and make bank.
-
That way you get the guys who think the world ends on Jan. 1, 2012 to go to the theater, and the smarter end-of-the-world lunatics will just wait and see it on DVD during the rest of the year. That gives you 12-months to cash in on their stupidity.
-
They get 2 years to milk it!
-
Plus they all want to spend their cash before the end date anyways. That's a lot of whores to spend money on.
-
I forgot about the hookers and blow.
-
Did anyone hear from him? He did watch my video. So if I see a movie about a killer frisbee catching Jack Russell I'll know.
-
No one like my Facebook Villain? I thought it was pretty good. Lets come up with cool villains.
-
Anyone listen to them?
-
Been busy editing and such. I'll try this evening.
-
On an episode of "Freddy's Nightmare" on Chiller Network. And he's wearing an awesome eyepatch.
-
Nothing happening on the TB's. Man I can't wait to see G-Force tonight. I hope its in 3-Dizzle.

I think "The Talkbacker" would be a good villain series
by continentalop
Of course, he would just get in a flame war with Batman and then end up calling him gay and act like he won.
-
Got free passes. Though I probably would have ended up seeing it. I think it actually looks like a lot of fun, and the most bizare voice cast in a Disney movie ever. Its either going to suck hard or be a lot of fun. Also who didn't like the hamster from Bolt? Now they've made a whole movie. Arrnett/Zach Galiflanakis/Cage/Tracy Morgan/Sam Rockwell/ Nicey Nash. Plus I have hardcore ADD so it was made for a man child like myself.
-
Could start off as a huge boner always picking on Batman through the interwebs, think of a more mysterious Perez Hilton, but can actually write and has a hidden identity. Have it span over an arch of two with him attacking Batman for everything he does. Batman goes on to the website, because for some reason he can't hunt the Talk Backer down, to get in a flame war with the Talk Backer. The Talk Backer cops out. Batman finally hunts him down, and undeservidly kills him. You could use the new Batman, someone who is unsure of himself and getting attacked every day just breaks him. It will help show how different Dick is then Bruce and how he may not be the right man for the Cowl.
-

In that upcoming Roller Derby movie and all I can think about, is what would my fist look like going full speed through he face. It looks so doughy that I could punch a hole right through it.
-
I see Dick totally pwning The Talkbacker on the internet. But when Bruce comes back (and we all know he will) I see Bruce getting annoyed as hell by him and losing his cool and killing him.
-
Did you read Batman and Robin? Where do you get that Robin is so self assured?
-
I just think he is younger so an annoying TBer would bother him as much. He is used to not being in control, so someone bad mouthing him in a setting he couldn't dictate wouldn't bother him.
BUT Bruce, the guy is used to getting his way. He is annoyed when Amazons, aliens with powers of gods and men with omnipotent magic rings don't listen to what he says. Imagine how annoying a TB would be to him? -
Dang dang dang. Fun filled times at the Chav Corral. Anyways.
-
So we showed up late to G-Force and they did not have enough seats for our butts. So we went to go see one of the other movies showing. Nothing else good was starting, except Year One. We thought....well it can't be really that bad and it was free. Oh my fucking god what a fucking terrible shit. Harold Ramis should no longer be allowed to make movies after how bad that was. We walked out. Also I could understand the movie if maybe it only cost 10 million tops wait the fuck! I thought the movie only cost $30 million, it fucking cost $60 million dollars. Jesus I hope they all smoked some fucking bomb ass weed, because no more then 10 dollars were on the screen at one time. I feel like I need an apology after that. Worst movie ever.
-
Is always awesome, eyepatch or not.
-
I quite like the idea of shit Batman villains like that. Batman v nefarious Star Trek nerd: "We must stop him Batman, he's set phaser to kill" "Don't worry Robin, I have naked pictures of Jenni Ryan in my utility belt, Robin, whilst he's distracted we'll kick his ass"
-
What's the score?
-
"Holy kiddie fiddler, Batman! Degenerate Jarv is making Sweep watch while he buggers Sooty!" "Quick Robin! Distract him by putting on Wellington boots, a duffel coat and smearing your face with marmalade while I free those poor innocent entertainers!"
-
Scores still 1-0. Same as yesterday. I realise you're a drooling imbecile so I'll let your forgetfulness slide.
-
Or did you forget that too?

Pretty knowledgable about a country you've never been to. And it's obvious why you haven't. We've denied you access because we've heard about your tendency to bugger innocent childrens entertainers and wanted to protect The Wiggles and Humphrey B. Bear. Someone get MJ's doctor on the phone. He's got work to do in North London.

as I'm deeply worried that we'll see your neighbours on the news saying "he was a quiet young man, always seemed very nice, who would ever have thought he had a suitcase full of 9 year old vaginas", how long have you spent thinking this shit up? You're a very, very sick individual and you need to start taking your meds again.
-
I can't decide whether I want it to cunt it down here for the next month or a blistering heatwave. On one hand, rain is fucking terrible by definition and that will make droid suffer, but on the other hand London, especially the tube, is fucking horrid in the heat which will make droid suffer as he sweats through his wife beater shirt with his face stuffed into some fat chav's armpit on the tube. He does that on empty trains as well, though, the smell reminds him of home. He is barred from most tube lines though for occasionally licking the aforementioned sweaty pits though.

I know it's in your genes and all that, but at least I have the decency to acknowledge when stealing jokes off you. Pity, you were doing so well with the children's entertainers schtick, but you had to resort to "borrowing" the serial killer paedo tag I'd given you. Do try to keep up, old boy, the internet is a big place, there's plenty of stuff out there that isn't mine that you could use. Did an especailly large and agressive penis damage your brain last night on Clapham Common?

we're borrowing off each other left, right and centre and none of it is remotely creative. Mrs. Jarv tells me that the computer is working out there, so I shall blow through at 4.07pm UK time completely hammered to wish you well.

Because a degenerate caveman like you only has enough brain power to drive the most primal urges. And buggering or getting buggered seems to be your primal urge of choice.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
about movies and/or hollywood? I'm looking for a new book to read.
-
weird. I'm sure whatever the computer thought I was going to say was hilarious.
-
I'm sure you're read that. If not, you should have.
-
Might make that my next one.
-
when one of your useless relations (and I know she is your sister-wife because I asked her and she said "droid, he's the spastic one of the family")has consigned me to losing at least 1 day if not more of holiday and I may also have to "work remotely".

"The problem with all the american ninja movies and the vast majority of the american action movies is that they don't set up a reasonable reason as to why the impossibilities happen" That has to be the cuntiest post ever.

not you. I blame him for everything including the rain. Just because he's a cunt and I can't stand him.
-
Year One was. Makes me want to give up watching movies all together.
-
Like I can't even begin to discribe just how shitty it was. IT was worse then pretencious college comedy crap. You know how in sports players get benched for awhile. Everyone in that movie (save for Vinnie Jones because he doesn't know better, poor brute) needs to be benched for two year and realize what they did.

Sounds more like vamp a con. Fucking faggots. I hope every loser nerd that wears Twilight clothing gets their ass beat but some meat head.

by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Get surprised by an explosive pop shot there Jarv?
-
Since he seems to have become discombobulated by the possible revelation of his real self, and has lost his usual loquaciousness in the process, the story does say that the duded was living as a 'sheep herder'. So, not wanting to take sides, would either Droid or Jarv be more apt to be drawn to sheep? Hmmm...
-
That isn't me. Cheeky beggars.
-
then it's droid's bag. Of cocks but still Droid's bag.
-
Good god Droid. Put in those movies now. Stalag 17 and The Apartment? Classic, mate. And I beg you to please watch the Red Cliff movies this weekend. You'll thank me.Ong Bak 2 is all kinds of f'ed up but still entertaining. Who needs a copy?Because I revisited 1987 for a column over on AIBN, I decided to watch Predator last night. Damn that movie is mint. It holds up so goddamn well you have to wonder what McTiernan was smoking to make something so perfect.So there were people protesting Obama's socialized health plan on a street corner by my office. I need a mobile chipper so I can run their ignorant asses down.
-
you Aussie fuckspoon?
-
Yep. Got those to watch. And a few others as well. I'm looking forward to seeing them. It's something I've meant to do for ages. And I'll get my mitts on Red Cliff over the weekend. Scouts honour.

socialised medicine. It weirds me out and I don't get it at all. Mrs. Jarv has repeatedly tried to explain it to me, but she doesn't really get it either.

Has turned me off movies all together, I don't know if I can be saved. Even though I didn't even pay to walk out of the movie, I want my money back. I would like to say you need to watch it to see how bad it is, but it is SO crap that you needen't waste your time. I mean Egon is not the greatest director but that movie just looked liked shit covered shit and it cost 60 million dollars. Theres a scene where they are walking through a field and you can't even hear what they are saying because of the wind blowing through the boom. I don't even take phone calls from people who are talking int he wind.
-
Until you have seen it. I haven't seen the Love Guru, but it has to be a million times better then Year 1. At least Love Guru looked like it cost some amount of money. Year 1 looked like it cost $10 and they fucking blew 60 million dollars on that. I don't care if a movie gets a huge budget and sucks, as long as you can see where they tired to spend the money. God I fucking hate this movie so much.

No offense to any Americans here who don't get it
by hawaiian organ donor
But I agree Jarv, it's a moronic thing to fight against. People in this country trust the government to educate their kids, rescue them from a burning house, build their roads and bridges and protect them from violent criminals but not when they have a broken arm or to deliver their children.It's 50 different ways of f-ed up.I'll avoid Year One at all costs. Life is too short to waste watching shit.I feel like going out to the movies this weekend. What's playing?
-
The cost, or what is perceived as a "glossing over" of what it will really cost us. But see, I think the biggest problem is the fact that doctors run up the bills by trying all sorts of unnecessary tests/drugs to patients? Why? The threat of being sued. What I think has to change is our stupid legal system and the ambulance chasers the run up liability costs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lawyers that decide to sue in Europe are held accountable if they fail, and have to pay the other attorney's fees.

Jul 24, 2009 9:49:20 AM CDT
When have you ever sat for a day and watched cricket?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That statement is factually incorrect. Which would you rather watch? a) Year One b) Jarv sexually molesting Paddington Bear.

When the fuck is Up coming out in the UK?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Cunts release ultra-shit like The Proposal before Up. What the fuck is going on?
-
Becomes a huge hit. They are saying that it will get about 20 million, I think it will come second to Harry's. I seem to always get a free movie when there is fuck all playing at the theater.
-
I was wondering why it wasn't making any money over seas.
-
Yet it isn't even in the top 20. Makes sense. Even shit like Land of the Lost is still there. Drag Me to Hell which is just in dollar theaters if anything is still on there.
-
That how smart Ben Stiller, Seth Rogan and the fat that Seth Rogan has lost that ended up being Johan Hill were to not appear in Year One. I also thought that Apatow was smart too having nothing to do with it....wrong mother fucker produced it. How does Harold Ramis think his style of comedy works well with Apatow? Just because he's sucking your dick doesn't mean you need to listen to him.
-
Anyone see that? Who was the killer I just want to know.
-
I wasn't sure, but I just had my team at IMDB run a search and we're fucked. So those same anal eaters who wrote Year One are writing Ghostbuster 3. That movie is going to start the apocalypse.
-
Is banging David Cross. Why?
-
Of Year One on IMDB. I didn't think people that dumb could use the internet.
-
In his review actually.
-
So after 4 years of taking France in high school, I still don't know shit. People have been saying shit like Tim Burton Burtonizes his movies. Well I kind of got that vibe from Micmacs with Jean it looks like he's Jeunetized himself. Hopefully its good, but its reason like that why its good for directors to work on different shit from time to time.
-
I always like to imagine if they had kept the original directors they planned to use - Sir David Lean and Akira Kurasawa. How kick ass would that have been?
Of course, the studio really didn't go after Lean that hard, and when Kurasawa heard he would be directing opposite of Richard Fleischer instead, he dropped out as well. But imagine what could have been... -
Fucking great little movie.
-
To me that is his true under appreciated masterpiece. I'm not saying it is his best movie, but I think it is up there and I think that it is a film that is way overlooked.
It's got Kirk Douglas being a selfish, greedy jerk. What more do you want? -

by hawaiian organ donor
Limited release sucks. What we need is a stimulus package to make all movie theaters digital. Then we won't have to worry about the film prints costing so much that the studios aren't willing to distribute the film on thousands of screens.Ace in the Hole is aces if I remember correctly.Regardless of ambulance chasers we still need free health care in this country. I don't care what anyone says, health care is a right, not a privilege. The same coverage the President gets should be available to a hobo.

I've rent through Netflixs, it goes all the way back to 05 and there is a lot of shit I don't remember watching/renting. Like dumb shit: Mom and Dad Save the Planet, Hidaway, Space Truckers, Human Traffic, Dead Man On Campus and some really good stuff I forgot about: Series 7 (I didn't realize that I hadn't seen it in so long), Its All Gone Pete Tong, Quadrophenia and Schizopolis. I should have been keeping track of every movie I watch a long time ago. But pretty much since I started Netflix I don't see too many movies out side of it. But I do watch a lot of TCM and IFC and I save all my movie ticket stubs.

Nooooooo! The only adult on You Can't Do That on Television died
by d.vader
Did anyone else watch this show? I know the majority of you guys are all older than me. I think maybe the only one younger around here is Zeddmore. Is that right? Am I the youngest one here, besides him? Anyhoo, I grew up watching "You Can't Do That on Television" on Nickelodeon. Its the show that slimed you with green slime when someone said "I don't know!". Anyway, the actor who was basically the only adult on the show just passed away. I don't think I ever saw the man in anything else after the show, but his performances left an indelible mark in my mind. http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2009/07/beloved_burger_chefproduction.php
-
that guy's dead? damn...
-
we are about the same age, if I recall.
-
Kinda sad, isn't it? I wish one of those stupid Nickelodeon offshoot channels would play old school Nick shows, instead of just leftovers from the past few years. Like the way MTV2, instead of playing music videos, plays crappy MTV shows that they no longer have room for in their schedule.

This is the stupidest news item I've ever read re: Peter Jackson
by d.vader
WTF is this idiot writer talking about?"The grim reality of creating fantasy was driven home by director Peter Jackson during a news conference at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego Thursday. Jackson, the Lord of the Rings director who is now preparing to film The Hobbit as two prequel movies, refused to employ the PC term "little people" to describe the characters in the as-of-now-uncast movie. "We have 13 dwarves to cast" Britain's Empire magazine quoted him as saying. "There's 13 poor guys who are going to be walking around the mountains in summer wearing heavy costumes, sweating under their prosthetic make-up. It's going to be tough. And logistically tough - imagine getting those guys through wardrobe at the beginning of each day and then shooting... They'll be passing out from heat. It's going to be tricky."" "Grim reality"? Peter Jackson "refusing" to use the term little people? IS this writer for real? What a FUCKING IDIOT. He's trying to make a story out of a non-issue? Is this guy reaaaallly suggesting the "grim reality" of fantasy films is that we don't refer to the Dwarves as "little people"? This guy needs to fall off a mountain or something, or have someone smack him in his mouth. Fucking idiot.
-
But honestly, this writer is a moron. People that stupid don't deserve to be reporting the news. Its completely irresponsible. "Refuses to use the term 'little people'..." pssssh. Has anyone really complained to him?
-
See what I mean? Stupid.
-
So lame....nitpicking in hopes of getting a hold of something, anything!, that can be spun into controversy.
-
awesome Herzog
-
"little people" sounded pretty fucking demeaning, actually.
-
That you don't have a long beard and don't go mining for treasure.... .... then doesn't it stand that that's PRECISELY the reason we should still be calling Tolkien's Little People, Dwarves? Also, wouldn't using "little people" just confuse audiences where hobbits are concerned? Fucking PC bullshit story. Written by someone who doesn't know a single dwarf or little person too, I bet.
-
Some reporter making a grab for attention, that'll probably (hopefully!) go nowhere.
FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. In a FICTIONAL WORLD. End of story.
-
is turning to mush.
-
That YCDTOTV guy dying is bumming me out. All the old people are dying! Nooooo!!!!
That show had such a nice aesthetic. I hate the shiny cleanness of tv today. -
What isn't made clear in that article is that Jackson is obviously referring to the dwarf characters. When referring to the ACTORS playing the dwarves, he says "There's 13 poor guys who are going to be walking around the mountains in summer wearing heavy costumes, sweating under their prosthetic make-up." This is just, as Vader said, a media beat-up. It's pathetic.
-
Am I wrong? Didn't Bilbo make the lucky number 13 for their party?
-
I had to do a search for Treevenge.
-
I'm sure someone else said this, but would they get upset at a director for calling Puck or Tinkerbell a Fairy?
-
That I am doing a series of interviews over at AintItBaleNews.
I am going to be interviewing Jason Eisener, Film Noir expert and author Eddie Muller (and president of the Film Noir Foundation), director Scott Sanders & composer Adrian Younge from Black Dynamite, and actor/comedian David Koechner (Champ Kind from Anchorman). They should all be put on the site this week or the next. I am hoping to also interview Michael Jai White, but I don't want to make any promises.
I've got some other people I am trying to interview as well - some actually big names. I'll keep you posted. -
Anyway I can see your short?
-
Fucking Jarv and Droid. There cricket talk drove everyone away.
-
To many stories for the nerds to get excited by and get a quick 30-60 post. Hard to keep up with a story about how they MIGHT make another Batman movie.

Lady GaGa. Not much but she knows how to present herself as a sex kitten.
She's probably a prude though. -
Martha Plimpton.

Now I expect some of you other dead beats to carry your weight around here.
And Jarv, Droid, can the cricket shit. It is TB poison. -

Good news about the interviews
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I'll be looking forward to reading those, mate.
-
Paper bag chick. Great body. Shit head.
-
that's harsh, droid.
Who the fuck is Lady Ga Ga? -
watched it. And it IS really good. I want to discuss it but I don't want to bust out spoilers!
-
I doubt that there's anyone here to discuss it with.
-
Point Break again as well...My once every 5 years Point Break viewing. I keep finding new reasons to love that movie.
Current favorite scene: Keanu getting a beatdown from the naked chick. -
Damn the next season is too far away! And the comic con info has me fucking excited...
-
Herc or Quint or whoever needs to hurry the fuck up with that interview.
I have got a HUGE crush on Mr. Jackson Publick. Even though I sometimes suspect he is on heroin. What other excuse for the loooooooong breaks between seasons could there be? Plus he's got a junky beard. -
"I haven't looked in the mirror for 3 months" beard.
Or perhaps he's a hunter? My dad grows that sort of beard before he ventures off in the winter to drink whiskey and shoot animals. -
Wow, way to go Conti!
-
I'll let you know soon if you can see my short. It might make for a good question in your interview with Eisener. I need to write him back on Facebook and send him the link to it, but I want to check out the site it was sent to yeaaaaaaars ago and make sure it still works (and is of acceptable quality) before I give you guys the link.
-
How did you manage to snag David Koechner?
And regarding Scott Sanders, is there anyway you can include a question regarding his time at UNC? Or in the least, mention that someone you talk to, a frequent reader of AICN and AIBN, went to UNC and was a part of David Sontag's "The Business of the Business" class back in 2003-2004 when Scott Sanders came as the "director" to speak about the profession, and he also screened a short film of his. I'm curious to hear if he still goes back each year to talk to the new class (if its still even taught). -
You gave me the link months ago. Unless there is another link, it is download only.

Hey ToadKillerDog- I had my first Arrogant Bastard Ale tonight!
by d.vader
I went to the store and lo and behold! We had some! But a 6-pack costs fucking $17.99 in Charlotte! So I got a Fat Tire Ale and Magic Hat 6-pack instead and got the large-bottle Arrogant Bastard. Good stuff! Thanks for the rec!
-
But as I'm shooting a short tomorrow, that's probably for the best.
-
First off I was notified via email today that I have won the international lottery. I don't remember buying a ticket but I WON. HAHA suckas kiss my as...What? it's a scam! damn it! Disreagard the above announcement.I will also be doing a series of interviews. They won't be with anybody that works in Hollywood though; mainly because I don't live in Hollywood nor do I know anybody but one guy that works in HW.Instead, I'm going to be interviewing the troop of thieving monkeys that live around here, and by interview, I mean shoot. I will also interview the mini water bo's, they're cool.
-
"First question...BOOM!"
-
Where on earth do you live?
Conti: Sweet interviews! And in the name of Bale, too. Can't wait to read 'em. -
I've gotten TWO emails about it! I'd say I'll fight you for the money, but something tells me that'd be the definition of FAIL.
-
Now that is the first piece of movie news in nearly a year that has generated any sort of excitment for me. The books are really good and if PJ handels the material correctly, the movies have the potential to be kick ass.C'mon PJ make me WANT to go to a movie again. I'm begging you man make a cool flick.
-
It was reported that he picked up the rights to that Temeraire series a few years ago. Still, it sounds like an AWESOME concept. Master and Commander, but with fucking DRAGONS? Hell yeah, I'm there. I was hoping we'd have heard news that they'd been doing a lot of concept art, etc. But I guess Tintin and the Hobbit keep getting in the way. Not to mention that 4 year production schedule for "The Lovely Bones".
-
I'm currently in the mysterious Orient the land of intrigue and high adventure. It's also the land of water Buffs which are cool and loud annoying monkeys which aren't.
-
it was new to me, I just read it in that story over in the top 10 section.Temenaire does have the potential to be really cool. The books take the premise seriously and definatly hold thier own against books the likes of Master And Commander series or Horatio Hornblower. Those two series are the gold standard in British Royal Navy stories.I'm really quite jazzed by the PROSPECT of a good, exciting and interesting story being told with great visuals.
-
sounds good. So does petting a water buffalo. Do you speak the language where you are?
-
...and then I'm out.
Is anybody else excited for District 9? Am I the only one? I can't get a clear sense of whether or not it's going to be good, but I am really looking forward to finding out. -
Ah noooo, this throws all my theories out the window! Madness I tell you!
-
Yes I do. Well, like three, of the dozen or so different dialects and languages spoken in the Phillipines.
-
I'm very excited for District 9. Looks like the sleeper hit of the summer. GREAT visuals, and an interesting, original ideas that looks like it will give us something to think about while also entertaining. You better believe I'll be there opening night. Also, if it does well, the better chance we'll have of getting a Halo movie. Which would be a great religious WAR film set in a scifi universe.
-
I thought it was a video game about killing aliens.
-
If you interview MJW, will you get him to autograph something Spawn for me? I will owe you for life! By the way, moving sucks but I am almost done.
-
Was awesome thought I didn't feel a need for a whole movie, but the trailers look like I've been proved wrong. Anyone ever dropped a washing machine they were trying to move by themselves? Try it out and now it works fine but it leaking water from some unknown source? Really don't want to have to buy a new washer damnit. Almost had it inside but the sweat on my forarm made it slippery and DROP.
-
I'm going to watch A view to a kill and PTFO!
-
It IS about killing aliens, but we're involved in a huge war with them. Its like Galactic World War II, and, even though my experience with the Halo series is limited, it seems to be about religion and property. The Halo ring-worlds play some part of it and the initial conflict was over that, but I seem to remember in Halo 2, in which we see a lot from the aliens' perspectives, the head aliens were making this a religious war, that they had to appease their Gods and crush the infidels, and those that rebel within their own faction are called heretics and whatnot. There seemed to be a real culture behind the aliens and a religion that they used to justify the wars and genocides. Also, they called our hero, Master Chief, the Demon.
-
I have seen it, and thought it was great. And they have been doing a ton of marketing for District 9. One of the aliens has an activist-style blog, detailing arrests of friends and being spied on. And all over town there are "humans only" signs. Like, some of the bus stops here are designated Human Only.
Going on the short and one of the trailers, I'd say the movie looks like it'll be really good. But I also get the feeling that there's a chance it might cross over into being heavy-handed and/or cheesy. Fuck I hope not. Because it has the chance of being really awesome. Luckily, we don't have to wait much longer to find out. -
Moving is the worst! Glad you're almost through. How long til the wedding?
-
I know these are old, but has anyone else seen them? They are fucking funny, and apparently hold up to repeat viewings, as I am currently finding out.
-
that it's worth getting "Sailing" and "I'm alright" stuck in your head all day.
-
Fuck that shit! With the new info, I keep getting that anxious-to-watch-an-episode feeling. And then I remember that it's not coming on until NEXT FUCKING YEAR! Nooooo!
-
Is next Weekend in Las Vegas.
-
I wasn't sold on the first one until the reveal of where they came up with the idea for the song "That's What a Fool Believes". The best one I've seen, by far, is the last one with Jason Lee as Kevin Bacon and the creation of "Footloose".
-
I just watched the entire Comic-Con panel today. And all the fake commercials (Hurley has had nothing but good luck since winning the lottery??? He went to Australia on vacation??). It sucks because I'm getting all kinds of excited, and I have to wait until January. Then I watch EXCELLENTLY made fan videos, like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TmCiC7QJiU&feature=channel), and it gets me even more pumped. Check out that video and look at all the other ones that same user has made, particularly the one on The Others and The Numbers. Great stuff. Great music and very good visuals matched up to them.
-
I watched those last night too. Instantly after watching the panel, while searching for the missing video sections from the panel.
Check the Michael & Walt look-a-likes in the fake Hurley commercial.
The plane never crashing only makes me nervous because it seems like that way they can get around explaining pretty much anything they feel like. But I figure they must end up somehow back towards the island, as Jacob chose those motherfuckers whilst they were young. And Jacob's not dead anymore! If he ever was to begin with....
The trailer for next season, the shots of John, sent chills down my spine. Chills! -
The one with Dre and Warren G had me laughing my ass off as well.
"Man, fuck that stop sign!" -
the weird In Search Of-style secret society video on Dharma? What the fuck is up with THAT? And there's supposed to be more of those coming out.
-
just might be the devil. Seriously, I cannot get fucking Sailing out of my goddamn head.
Aural-fucking-xanax. Must resist! Devil! -
As in Master Chief Petty Officer like the rank in United States Navy? If that's the case the game is over before it started, unless the Master Chief in question is from the Coast Guard.
-
That is fucking awesome that you speak all those languages! Have you ever tried one of those partially developed eggs? My Mom used to work with Filipino ladies who would bring them to work sometimes, but she never had the balls to try 'em. I'm not sure what they're called...
-
I was being a bit cheeky with my reply above. The three languages I was making refeence to were English, Spanish and money.In all seriousness though I do savvy a bit of Tagalog and I'm trying to learn a little local tribal lingo but it's rough going so far. Were you asking about the pinoy or the balute? Had both before, they are um...intersting?
-
If you speak Spanish, you are ahead of me. I have the tiniest bit of Spanish and enough French to muddle through written shit, but not enough to understand beyond the absolute basics if someone is speaking to me. I've never been out of the States, unfortunately.
I looked up Balut, and it looks like that's it. According to wikipedia, I would already know this if i had bothered to watch reality tv (survivor, fear factor) regularly over the last 5-10 years. I imagine it's an acquired taste. -
do you eat the bones, sort of like how you eat the shell of a soft-shell crab?

What a weird Bond movie. Didn't realize John Glenn (the Astronaut) directed the Dalton Bonds as well, I thought he died with Moore. I wonder if they ever offered him any of the Pierce bonds? My favorite thing was the symphony version of the Duran Duran song, did they do that with every Bond? Its been so long since I've watched the old ones (i don't get Spike TV). I also liked when Walken looked up James Bond on his slide ruler and it said LICENSE TO KILL!

I watched the Hunter S. Thompson film last night, Baader-Meinhoff, Critters 2, and some dismal rom-com pish that I can't remember the name of. Baader-Meinhoff was comfortably the best. I give it 7 out of 10. It would be higher if there wasn't some appalingly cack-handed moralising in it.

I resent this. I'm going to finish this shit asap and get out of here.

The whole setup/mood leading up to the final showdown...good stuff. Was that Van Cleef I saw as one of the bad guys?
-
Jarv I am impressed. I have not finished Matter yet. I read a bit here and there up to around page 400. I got side tracked because I started re-reading Deathly Hallows after I saw the latest Potter movie - which is a very slow moving character study for the most part. Pillow, that is indeed A young Van Cleef menacing ol Will Kane. Great movie. Katy Jurado baby! One of the few times that Grace was out smoked on screen. Although to be fair she was playing a quaker.
-
Only got to do a little bit when I'm away. Useless cow. I'm off now- Motel Hell review posted. See you when I get back.
-
I suspect the end relies on knowing other Culture novels. Which I don't. It's still quite exciting. I'll give Phlebas a bash when away TKD. Have fun motherfuckers. Apart from Droid. His type of "fun" leaves a wake of traumatised children. Anyway I want it to rain solidly for the next 3 weeks.
-
I remember liking Half Blood Prince better than Deathly Hallows. Too much meandering in the middle of Deathly Hallows, but I suppose I should read them again.
-
It is a character study - and I happen to like the characters, but action adventure it is not. You have maybe two or three 'action' pieces, and two of them are lame. It is a good looking, well crafted flick, but in no way would I want to sit through it again. I liked Deathly Hallows only because of the ending - very rousing and satisfying.
-
You have shamed me, I will set aside Hallows and finish Matter. Pillow, Grace was always hot, and she always gave off the upper crust cool, but will fuck you blind vibe. Katy in that movie just gave off the 'I gotta get away from this woman before she fucks me to death' vibe. Cooper took Grace to save himself from an early grave - although he is in for a surprise from Grace as well!
-
but, and I'll have to read it again, it seemed to kind of spin its wheels for a while, not really getting anywhere.

I did not much like JJ's Starter Trek, so I can not really work up any reason to go bash that Tongue Cleaner. But I am sure we will once again dust it up over some other topic in near future.
-
Just had to confront that tongue cleaner. But I did not slap him hard - I still do not like Starter Trek.
-
It was pretty awesome. I was very impressed with the camera work. Some shots are, apparently, sustained for 20 minutes. The last zombie/infected/possessed person or what have you was a very disturbing design. I couldn't tell if it was CGI or if they had hired some anorexic crackhead heroin-addict off the street, that thing was so skinny. And it made freaky dinosaur and bird-like sounds. Good stuff. Now I think its safe to check out "Quarantine".
-
Did you watch it last night on TCM, hosted by John Lithgow? I forgot about it and went to visit a friend who's helping me with my next short. I haven't seen it in years. I remember it being a very good movie, but the overuse of that theme song started to annoy me by the end.
-
If I could only choose one of the books to direct a movie adaptation (or two) of, it'd be that final book.
-
I'm really not looking forward to coming out of the theater all pissed off and angry.
-
Quarantine and [REC] I'm gonna do a compare and contrast for my review site. But I think its the only horror movie remake that is worth anything. While I saw Quarantine first I still thought [REC] held my terror level pretty high even though I knew what was going to happen. I think the final monster in [REC] is better. Quarantine is a shot for shot redo of [REC] but I think it works, because people who don't read subtiltes will enjoy it. If you don't do subtitled movies all the time [REC] I think would be a fun movie. You would miss a lot of the dialog. Its such a fast movie that if you weren't used to subtitles you would have gotten lost.
-
Here's a key to seeing Harry's Potter 6. Get to the theater early, one that is showing Year One Still. Buy your Harry P ticket, but go in and watch 5-10 minutes of year one (any longer and your brain will melt and your eyeballs will explode due to intense stupidity). You will storm out of that theater so pissed and vengeful that the next thing you watch will be the greatest thing ever compared to that abortion of a movie.
-
That just might be worthwhile. AND I don't get to give my money to David Yates.
-
Turns out their final monster was just a very skinny actor (like Doug Jones skinny I guess) with lots of prosthetic makeup and whatnot to appear as a girl. And he had a weird jaw. It looked like that thing could open super wide, like the vampire-zombies in I Am Legend. Only it worked, organically.
-
That was pretty crazy. I tought the arms were fake.

I love it, and a ton of talkbackers are realizing how off the fucking rocker the drippy whore is.

I have grown to love AMC more and more without netflix anymore.

But I really like AMC too. Even though they show commercials and, depending on the film, cut a lot of stuff out, they still have a great schedule at times. Here's where Series starts cursing its name.

I just caught an eyeful of AssimovLives' display over in that Orci/TREK TB.Oh. My. God.If ever there was a time for one of your fearsome Pencil Jihads, then that time is now.

I love it when he just goes off.He's declared that you and I are the same MNG, since he just doesn't like being called out on being M-O-M.

Though I would think that on the older films, there's less chance of that, at least I hope so.
-
Yep, I saw that. Man, he is really a disturbed individual. I don't think what he's doing even qualifies as trolling...I think he is genuinely obsessed.No one in their right mind should have that much time on their hands; nor should they be allowed to run the boards like that for this long, IMHO.

During new episodes of Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Otherwise if you watch that channel you hate movies.

Doesn't matter its all military. I didn't set a specific branch. Fuck I even saw Marines out side of a screening of Stop Loss trying to recruit. Dumbasses didn't even know what the movie was about, they thought it was a pro military movie.
-
Then do the job of some third world child (aka mine sweep).
-
No way you saw Marine Recruiters outside of a movie trying to get people to enlist. I don't believe that at all. The Marine Corps gets more people trying to get INTO it then we need. Being a Marine recruiter is the easiest job in the world. Essentially you're selling a product to people that already want it. Every month and year the Marine Corps meets 100 percent of its enlistment and retention goals, so why would they have to sit outside of a movie begging people to give us a look? Especially Stop Loss which is about a program the Army had.Keith David only does the ads for the Navy, they locked him up becasue of his distinctive voice. The Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast guard have thier own voice over people. They are seperate branches and don't want any confusion over commercials. I would figure that the PR firms that the seperate branchs employ would demand that.
-
Fuck him. I used to be polite to him until this fucking Batman TB. The is a condescending douche - sorry, Tongue Cleaner.
The guy will demand that you most accept anything Nolan gives you and that he can break away from 60 years of comic book continuity because he is Nolan and somehow infallible, but fuck, how dare JJ deviate from Star Trek continuity. Somehow AsimovLives is the decider of what is acceptable deviations from source material and what is not. The guy is a hypocrite of the first degree.
Sorry if I sounded defensive in the Batman TB Toad but I had to put up with 100s of post by him and other narrow minded individuals. After awhile you begin to just get ornery. -
We will get everyone saying Tongue Cleaner rather than douche sooner or later. I can't wait until the day that somebody calls O'Reilly a Tongue Cleaner, and they can't bleep it out because as offensive as it is, it does not involve the genitalia so they cant bleep it on grounds of being sexually offensive!
-
Awright, since I missed why you think that way: why is it that if you watch AMC, you hate movies?
-
Over time, the drippy whore reveals himself to be the opinionated little bitch that he is.And then he starts rambling misspelling everything in his path.
-
Doesn't anyone else feel that each service has a distinct voice in their commercials? Well they were out their handing out flyers after the movie. I told them no thank you I already did my time.
-
there really is no point in dealing with him. Unless you are bored. He never backs up anything he says, he just spews shit in broken ass engrish. He thinks he's fucking Judge Dredd when it comes to movie opinions.
-
Because they edit everything for time and content. Why the fuck would you watch T2 edited for TV? I caught my roommate watching AMC once (i think it was T2) and I kicked him out of the house.
-
Anyword on the MJW interview?
-
I'll get on board the Robin train if you promise me a MJW autograph. I don't care I'll sell out.
-
Not sure why one would watch a more recent movie on TV given a choice, since they do cut gobs out of it. But for those of us who have no movie channels or netflix, it's a good alternative to catch up on flicks from the 1930-70's.
-
How can TCM not edit shit. They even have nudity but AMC cuts out chunks of their movies. Its just typical dumb Americans not giving a fuck. Its like watching shows on TBS. Another one of my roommates was telling me about this new Family Guy on TBS....it was the fucking pilot. I kicked him out as well. One of my fellow co workers though Family Guy was a TBS show. Its stupid shit like that.

Fred did indeed get exorcised by Mavra Chang and ThereWolf. Fred was possessed by Dirk the Amoeba who was himself possessed by an evil pod person. Humble Fred remembers very little of the procedure, but thinks it involved large amounts of Thunderbird.

Good to see you around these parts Fred - your humor is missed.

Watched Sunshine on Sunday, a one-off screening at the cinema. There's wrong and then there's wrong. I saw it once on DVD and have always maintained that the film is good, but it ends twice which kind of ruins everything.Having seen it again, Sunshine quite clearly does NOT end twice. First time around I was quite drunk but that's no excuse. For some reason I thought Capa was having some kind of 2001 hallucination, imagined launching the bomb, snapped out of it, then really did launch the bomb! Why I thought that (alcohol notwithstanding) is beyond me. Sorry. Cinephile credentials revoked for a month.When the crew watch Mercury in transit across the face of the sun I got a bit emotional for some reason. And I like how one crew member doesn't even look, like he's lost in his own thoughts.Chris Evans is very good in this.Danny Boyle is definitely feeding off Solaris (Tarkovsky) & Alien. And 2001.
-
I think he is good in everything. Makes me want to watch Push. Anyone seen that>
-
But opted for [REC] instead.
-
You seen Knowing yet? Knowing is half the battle and its worth a look. But don't take my word for it I'm just a frat boy, I suck the head's off of fishes.

Get a load of that Eric Roberts pic. Fucking epic. http://ethelmae.wo rdpress.com/2009/07/24/now-that-ive-landed-in-the-bur gh/
-
Since Quarantine was a shot for shot remake of [Rec] I need some other way to judge which movie was better. I chose [Rec] here's why.The lead actress in [Rec] had better jugs and a nicer ass so [Rec] wins.
-
1. Like Pillow said call him MoM repeatedly.2. Make fun of Portugal.3. Compare him to Lockesbrokenleg and call both of them nuts. This is good becasue it's a twofer. Snithwalker usually goes balistic also.There are some others but I can't remember them right now. Happy hunting.Oh yeah one other. call him a lover of farm animals like goats or sheep repeatedly.
-
...I still can't bring myself to make fun of him.
I keep thinking that the way he acts he must be a very sad and lonely creature. I actually pity him. And no, I am not being facetious or sarcastic. -
And it got me a biiiiiit more fucked up than I was expecting. One bottle. The big one.
-
I still have Richard Kelley's draft of the script in my libaray back home though.
-
You're a better person then I am.
-
I have the same problem with him as I have with Ryan Reynolds. He essentially has the same persona in all his flicks. Cocky, arrogant etc. They are both likable, and Evans has never made anything as turgid as Van Wilder, but either of them being in a flick does not ever make me want to watch it.
-
About [Rec] and Quarantine, it really does come down to the actresses. I chose [Rec] for similar reasons, but also because she does not really get annoying until the last 10-15 minutes, while the Dexter girl you just want to punch right through the face War Zone style about 5 minutes into the movie.
-
Evans did Not Another Teen Movie.
-
David Kelly wrote a script for Knowing? Hrm. Well you should check it huge surprise. I really liked it.
-
Pretty good flick. I think DV you had asked about it after you saw Color Me Kubrick? I need to see that now. Malkovitch was really good in this movie.
-
I know. I thought that was ok. Moronic and obvious, but ok.
-
To start my Billy Wilder experience. It was very good. Jack Lemmon is a legend. And Shirley MacLaine is gorgeous in it. I can't remember ever seeing her in anything where I've found her attractive until this.
-
Which was also very good. I've never seen Fred Macmurray in anything but My Three Sons before, so it was funny to see him as a womanising boss in The Apartment and a bit of a hard-boiled role in this. He was good though.
-
Already saw it at the flicks, but the missus wanted to watch it. Just a great, enjoyable movie.

Don't lower yourself to the mongoloid levels of Jarv. You're better than that.
-
I'll put it on the list. I've got a lot of catching up to do with older flicks. I've also got hold of all The Thin Man flicks. I've only ever seen the first one, which is brilliant.
-
And read The Thin Man book before watching the sequels. The movie The Thin Man stays pretty close to the book in terms of plot but it doesn't have any of Hammett's sensibilities. And the further the series goes on, the further they get away from Hammett. Still, they are fun movies.
Favorite bit in The Thin Man is when Nora ask Nick if that is her drink. He guzzles it and says "Yes." -
I really like that series and now I realize I need to watch them again. It's been years.
-
All my friends and co-workers are talking about all the movies that came out this year and i just realized I have probably only seen a handful of new movies this year.
-
I've hardly seen any. Because for the most part they haven't interested me. The second half of the year will be a lot better though.
-
I love David Niven and Maggie Smith as The Thin Man spoof characters, Dick and Dora Charleston. Peter Falk was awesome as well as Sam Diamond.
-
But it's been years. David Niven is one cool mofo. Peter Falk is awesome period, his body of work is amazing. The In Laws is one of my favorite movies.
-
The In-Laws is hilarious. The original, not the remake.
That fucking velvet painting of the naked lady on the tiger in the dictator's lair always cracks me up. -
I better hit the hay. Have a good one.
-
Peter Sellers doing a Charlie Chan routine. I enjoyed.
-
What was he thinking????I give you props on the Jarv-like attempt at cricket post. Throw in a couple "fuck off's" and some silly score like 3-200, and it's there.
-
Great until crispy blurry burnt dude shows up, then it goes to shit.
-
KFC man didn't bother me. I hope they make a sequel!
-
which burned chicken tend to do.It held such promise...and then quickly dashed with that bullshit blurry camera work, the god-like deity. The tension was already there on a suicide mission. No need to add such a stupid concept like burned crispy man.
-
Would have been more understandable if it was Cliff Curtis who just goes crazy after staring at the sun too much. Rather then a guy living alone in a broken down space ship.
-
And I also saw this with The Beach and Fight Club (but was too stupid to act on it). I don't know if fox does this for every movie or what, but they held auctions on thier website for memoriblia from the movie after they wraped. I remember the spacesuits from Sunshine were going for $300. Maybe its just a Boyle thing? I wish I had bought something from Fight Club. Its pretty crazy they have like EVERYTHING from the movie up for auction.

My friend sent out an email linking to an EW article claiming 1984 as the best year for film (in response to all the talk of 1939 being Hollywood's best year ever). The evidence given included Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, and The Terminator. I responded that I always thought 1982 was the better film geek year, with ET, Poltergeist, The Thing, Blade Runner, Star Trek II: Wrath of KHAAAAN!, The Dark Crystal, First Blood, TRON, and Creepshow. What do you guys think?
-
Yeah I think I am done with that site now as well. I have been going there for their comic stuff. Kind of weird though how DC heavy they are. You think they would push Marvel more. Then again Magneto was their number 1 villian I think.

He sounds like he was a really good guy, starting charities for disabled children and paying for poor kids to go to the prom.

I can't say it was stupid, because if I was a boxer and someone just snatched my wallet from my hand, I might try to chase him down and get it back too.

Millar is a worse self-promoter than Stan Lee ever was
by continentalop
Somehow Millar's name is always mentioned as being involved in one super hero movie or another - like "Millar told Jon Favreau to drop the Mandarin as the villain in the movie and use Iron-Monger instead" or "Millar has been involved with DC comics about relaunching Superman." But the truth is how the fuck do we know how much impact he has on those projects? Can you really imagine them using Mandarin in the first film anyways and yeah, maybe he did meet with DC, but how do we know that they were that keen on his idea or not. The guy has figured out a way to make it seem like he is Hollywood's go-to-guy regarding super hero flicks and make it seem like "Millar has got his finger on the pulse of what these kids want!"
I think I'm gonna start rumors that Continentalop suggested to Nolan that he have the Joker just be a guy with a "Glasgow smile and wearing make up instead of having him be all white" and that it was me "who suggested to Favreau that Iron Man be set in Afghanistan like they did in Extremis." Maybe even claim "Continentalop is the one who suggested to Anderson to use the line "I drink your milkshake" in the film THERE WILL BE BLOOD." -
it was time to watch soylent green after the SNL skit on it. And granted, we had consumed adult beverages at that time, but fuck, we thought we sat around through the whole movie for that? I suppose I should watch it again while sober, but I did not like it when drunk, that's for sure.And regarding '73-74 films..half of those films I haven't seen.
-
If you read his interview and top five favorite movies on Rotten Tomatoes, he pretty much admits to riding success off of the talent of others. Also he put Captain Blood as one of his top five fav movies, though another comic company is doing the comic version of it? Would anyone else like to see a buddy comedy movie staring Stan Lee and Hugh Hefner? Call it Colostomy Bags: The Musical. That or just have them live in a mansion together just to see how clueless/not giving a fuck anymore they are about everything. Rotten tomatoes link: http://tinyurl.com/ko7okm

Nothing he said, just he's like Rotten Tomatoes featured person of the day and this morning his top rated film was Funny People....now its Knocked Up. Keep getting lower, as the balls SLOWLY slip out of the mouth.

Like I thought Wanted was his huge break out hit. How did he get a movie deal before it was even made? Sure he had done some stuff, I need to go look through his catelog. He says that movies are a hobby...yeah right it looks like he is a failed screen writer now. Also I've heard he had little to do with Wanted but is actually the star of Kick Ass.
-
He is just trying to be the next Frank Miller. I bet he tries to direct Chosen. I still want to know what his bet was with Harry Knowles. I think someone told me but I forget.

Also whats the deal with all comic book writers being English?

I guess its because they have 2000 AD which seems to be the starting plateform for most famous british scribes. And we've got....Mad magazine.

I was also pretty much okay with the concept of finding someone still alive on Icarus 1. I think it would've been more believable if Cliff Curtis had gone doolally through solar exposure, but then again a bit obvious. I think that was the inference though, Searle was heading down Doolally Lane.The thing that doesn't add up is sending Capa out with the Captain to fix the panels. Evans volunteers him and the Captain should have nixed it - on account of Capa being the bomb guy. Bit later on, Evans gives the only available space suit to Capa for that exact reason. If Capa's so important, why did Evans volunteer him for the panel job?And you would have thought on such a crucial mission there would be more than one person trained to detonate the bomb. Just in case.

So I need one of you guys to bring this up to him:
What if you met a guy that just hated the Jonas Brothers. Just hated, hated, HATED them. And he might be right in thinking they were a bunch of no-talented, fake musicians with no authenticity, but wouldn't you think it strange about him if he CONSTANTLY brought it up no matter what. I mean, he brought it up in front of his daughter and her friends who loved them and would yell at them about how could they possibly like the Jonas Brothers. He would yell at girls in restaurants and at the mall who wore their shirts telling them how they sucked. And he wait by the record store so when people walked in and out he could mention all the problems he had with it. And no matter what rational anyone else said, he would still yell at them.
Plus, wouldn't you also think it strange that he was obsessed with this one horrible band when in reality their are groups far worse, far less talented and far more annoying? I mean, maybe they aren't as successful as the Jonas Brothers, but that is probably a good thing because imagine how much worse things would have been if an even shittier band had made it? -

Simply the greatest writer in comics history bar none. The greatest innovator in comics history bar none. The greatest self promoter in comics history bar none. The greatest recognizer (word?) of talent and trends in comics history bar none. The greatest user of others talent in history bar none. The luckiest bastrad in comics history bar none. The hardest working editor in comics history bar none. The greatest force in comics history bar none. Damn, I hope I did not just write his obit, but Stan is really the Man. Say what you will about him, but he changed comics - not by himself, but as much as I truly truly love Kirby, Kirby had no true vision of what comics could be. Kirby was the greatest artist/conceptualizer in history. The perfect compliment to Lee. But Kirby could noty see the fiorest for the trees he drew. Lee saw the whole fucking world. Not at once - it took time, but he saw it first, and without him, none of the great artists who worked at marvel would ever have been any more than just bullpen pencillers. And Lee could write as well.

Secertly dreams of a three way where he is the meat and Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are the bread with some Eric Bana mayonnaise spread all over.

And how now a days comedies are based on shit and quiff jokes. And old comedies are more situational and dialog based and how I Love you Man is a good example of timeless comedy not made for tweeners. Well I've thought about it, and the "Peter's Daughter" episode of family guy where Brian and Stewie are doing the Over back and forth on the walkie talkie is fucking classic. Its also one of the best episodes as a whole. Here's the clip. http://tinyurl.com/mob87d

You are right. I think a bio movie on him would make for a damn fine movie. Or a good movie about the Marvel/DC rivalry or the Image faction.

The Tongue Cleaning asswipe that use to troll the comic book TB? The guy who would insist Stan Lee was a thief and a huckster and kept attacking me because I said that Stan Lee obviously had some sort of Influence on comics and the FF?
I wish I knew this before, but I guess there is a short synopsis that Stan Lee wrote to Jack Kirby before they did the FF where he spells out what the comic should be and how their powers should operate. Basically he created their powers, personalities, everything. As Roger Stern and Mark Evanier have said, this should finally end the debate amongst people who say that Lee didn't contribute anything at all. -
Far enough away from District 9, that it will not be known at a Peter Jackson joint. But I am getting a vibe that he is not ready to let GDT take over with the Hobbit. Like the Hobbit will be a Poltergeist situation between him and GDT. I hope that doesn't happen, but is anyone else starting to feel the same?
-
I never thought Lee didn't do anything. The dude knows how to arrange people and skills/talent to make him look the best. That's fine, but that's also why shit like Image happened. Which is good because I love Image. Someone has to be the boss, and Stan Lee is The BOSS. I was just commenting mainly on that article did you read it?

Back to the Future. BEST. YEAR. EVER.
-
Apparently it's people though.
-
I will take any year from 1971-1976 over any other year in 80s. Sorry, but it wasn't called the Second Golden Age for nothing.
But I will accept dissenting opinions. -
I don't think you heard me. 1985. Back to the Future.
-
1971 - French Connection & Clockwork Orange
1972 - Godfather
1973 - Exorcist
1974 - Godfather II & Chinatown
1975 - Jaws & Dog Day Afternoon
1976 - TAXI DRIVER
And yes, I have no sense of fun or magical whimsy.
-
1985! Back to the Future! Also... The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, Teen Wolf, The Sure Thing, Better of Dead, Weird Science, Commando, Rocky IV, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Explorers!
-
Very different indeed.
-
Yeah, I'm not saying those films you listed aren't awesome or classics or whatever. But BTTF is my favorite flick by a long way, so whatever year it was released will automatically be the best year ever. And I remember going to see it at the cinema in 1985 what I was 6 or 7. And I love all of those other flicks I mentioned as well. 80's flicks rule. (Although 70's flicks are probably "better")
-
9 times out of 10 I'd rather watch one of the flicks I listed than one of yours. Because they are easier and more fun.
-
I actually prefer watching a lot of the movies on my list over almost any movie from the 80s. The 80s wasn't the greatest period for me -everyone else was going to the theaters raving about the movies and I would find myself preferring renting movies from the 70s. I wasn't much of an optimist.
Maybe this could sum up my taste best - my favorite genre is film noir. Any movie where everybody dies is a happy ending in my opinion. -

So it isn't the as much the "artistic" level I love about them
by continentalop
Although I do think they reach a higher artistic level, it is the sensibilities I am usually drawn too. I very much have a 70s and 40-50s film noir sensibilities.
In fact, I think you're plotting against me right now. -

In-between cult leader Xiphos and David Koepp.

There is a lot of films I love from the period. It is just my personal taste is much more towards the 70s style. But I can name a bunch of 80 movies that I love - Vice Squad, Howling, The Fly, Aliens, Terminator, This is Spinal Tap, Blood Simple, Body Heat, Body Double, Creepshow, Talk Radio, Fright Night, Bachelor Party, Tootsie, The Verdict, Arthur, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Bad Boys, etc.
-
Aliens, At Close Range, Big Trouble in Little China, Blue Velvet, The Color of Money, Cobra, Crocodile Dundee, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Flight of the Navigator, The Fly, Heartbreak Ridge, Highlander, Howard the Duck, Labyrinth, Little Shop of Horrors, Manhunter, The Mission, The Money Pit, Platoon, Raw Deal, River's Edge, Short Circuit, Sid and Nancy, Stand by Me, ¡Three Amigos!, Top Gun.
-
Transformers 2, Angels & Demons, Night at the Museum 2, Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator 4, Fast & Furious, Ice Age 3, Harry Potter 6... That's 9 out of the Top 10 grossing flicks so far this year. All fucking sequels, or franchises. The only other one is Monsters Vs Aliens. Other shitty flicks this year... Bride Wars, The Unborn, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Underworld 3,
-
The Uninvited, He's Just Not That into You, The Pink Panther 2, Fired Up, Watchmen, Race to Witch Mountain, Dragonball Evolution... aaaah.... this is depressing.
-
Plus Mona Lisa (British actually) Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Chopping Mall.
-
Outlander, Taken, Street Fighter: The Legend of Charlie Nash, I Love You, Man, Knowing, 12 Rounds, State of Play, The Hurt Locker... There are heaps I haven't seen, but I don't hold out too much hope. But I think (HOPE!) the second half of 2009 will be a lot better.
-
Or Henry. Or Mona Lisa. Ruthless People is awesome though. Oversight.

It is like we are back in 1963-1966, In the years between The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Easy Rider & Bonnie & Clyde. We are seeing the modern equivalents of Cleopatra, Dr. Doolittle, Fubber and Hello Dolly.

Depress me about the state of movies so that I kill myself. Very diabolical my friend.

I don't know if it holds up. But if you like Rodney it helps.
Mona Lisa is a great movie.
Chopping Mall is good cheesy fun. Killer robot security guards at a mall. And Dick Miller is in it. -

While I don't know Droids age, I know Con is in his early 80's. So the 70's were during his childhood, while the 80s were probably during Droids.

Moon.

I want to see Moon. I've heard good things. But the point is more that there used to be countless great flicks every year, and in general flicks used to be at least decent. Sure there were plenty of clangers, but for the most part they were at least watchable. These days Hollywood flicks are becoming incresingly unwatchable, and there are not enough flicks like Moon, The Hurt Locker or Knowing to counter-balance them.

07 sucked, but 08 had pretty much hit after hit.

"Everyone wants to create these little safe harbors, which are franchises. And you create your franchise, which is going to lead to three or four movies, and it'll all go to the bottom line and that goes to Wall Street. It's all this corporate stuff, and the film industry and the world of finance and Wall Street have all kind of blended in a way that's not good for creativity at the moment. Now, let's hope it's a cycle, because everything in the film industry seems to be a cyclic thing and hopefully we're just going through a bad patch. I think it's up to everybody, the filmmakers and the studios, to get a little bit more courage and fight against it, because I think we've all given into it a bit." This from the guy who is.... 1. Going back to the well to take advantage of the success of his billion dollar trilogy 2. Remakes a classic into a bloated, effects driven 3+ hour borefest. 3. Is the driving force behind creating not one Tintin film, but three straight out of the gate. Now, I'm not unhappy about points 1 or 3 (especially 3!), but it seems a little contradictory to call on filmmakers and studios to take more chances when you're spending the next 4 years making exactly what you're deploring.
-
He does have Lovely Bones coming out next, which is a big gamble.
-
You can't just be a movie director, you also have to be a smart buisness man.
-
But is it a gamble?
-
Last minute special effects changes, to make del Toro's wolf character walk on four legs rather than two, are cited as the reason for the latest postponement. Anyone remember the disscussion about how all Werewolves now a days have to run on walls and ceilings? Seems like some executive was not going let this movie pass by with out ceiling walkers.
-
Well its not a franchise? I don't know enough about the book, but from what my team has gathered it sounds like one of those unfilmable books. Was that a quote from the interivew with Harry?
-
And its not even based on the classic big-monsters-bashing-a-city video game?!? There's something wrong with that!
-
That's so fucking stupid. I was looking forward to another (realistic) bipedal werewolf.
-
"1. Going back to the well to take advantage of the success of his billion dollar trilogy" Yeah, but its a picture just about everyone wants to see. I don't see this project as being contradictory to his points about the state of the movie industry today.
"2. Remakes a classic into a bloated, effects driven 3+ hour borefest." Subjective opinion, yes, but his effects-driven remake still had more heart and dedication poured into it than the vast majority of other "blockbuster" films released every year.
"3. Is the driving force behind creating not one Tintin film, but three straight out of the gate." I've got no problem with this. It does seem contradictory to his statements about everyone on the business side of things wanting a franchise, but this is a project Peter obviously has a lot of love for, and its still kind of a gamble as Tintin isn't very well known in the States, and CGI motion-capture films haven't exactly lit up the box office. -

The quote was from Harry's intvw with PJ
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
The Lovely Bones isn't that much of a gamble. It's a number one bestseller. White, Oprah loving Middle American Women will be all over this. It's directed by PJ, which will be enough to get fanboys in the theatre. It only cost $65m. It will make $100m at least WW. The only gamble aspect is that it's dark subject matter.
-
It plays the last scene of Back to the Future with the same scene recreated for the beginning of Back to the Future II. Its interesting to see them try to do the same thing with a different actress and an older actor. http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2009/07/back_to_the_futures_finally_co.php
-
1. I could very easily live without another two 3+ hour fantasy flicks if it meant Jackson could do something different. I've worked out what the second flick will contain. Endings. Just three hours of PJ trying to end the fucking story. Of course I realise that PJ isn't directing them, but he'll have full creative control. 2. Nope. Don't agree. I think PJ definitely made the Kong flick he always wanted to make, but the "heart" and "passion" was missing. It was an exercise in how to make the Kong flick you always wanted to make. Nothing else. Do I think it was better than other blockbusters? Sure. Some. Would I have rathered PJ make something else? Definitely. Either that or understand that you don't need 3+ hours to tell that fucking tale. 3. Tintin is unknown in the states. To you it may seem as a gamble. He's no dummy. It will be huge internationally and as Angels and Demons can show you, a flick can make okay/good money in the states, and an absolute shitload of cashola everywhere else.

Will check that out when I get home. Cheers.

I don't think its a hate or or love it deal. I think people see its merits but hate its length. I personally loved every second of it. Thought it was awesome. But what I don't understand: All three LOTR movies cost between 90-100 million to make each. Kong cost 200 million to make. I do not see 100 million dollars more of movie in Kong then in any LOTR. Explain that.
-
I saw Back to School so many times as a kid. It made me want to find a swimming pool with multiple high dives so I could do the triple lindy. Rodney Dangerfield is great in it. Also gets bonus points for a musical performance by Oingo Boingo. I've never seen all of Chopping Mall. It was a movie whose title we joked about so much in school, and how we wanted to make sequels like "Skinning Pool" and "Scareport", though the latter might actually be real... It wasn't until my internship in LA that we watched some of Chopping Mall. It was playing on a tv at a little get together we were at. What was bizarre was that the Mattress King, or Carpet King, or whoever he was, looked EXACTLY like one of my roommates. We had him stand beside the tv and make the same goofy facial expressions as the actor. Was trippy.
-
I wish Jackson would get away from LOTR. Sure they are awesome and all, I am just not a fan. I would like to see GDT have full control, he is more then capable. He may make a movie that gets me more engaged with Middle Earth then PJ did. At this point you wonder if PJ could make a low budget movie, but then again he doesn't have to. Look at Speilbergs record, the Terminal could have been done on an indie film budget....but no it was one of the most expensive films that year! You could have made that movie for a couple of mil, but no Steve made a whole fucking Air Port terminal.
-
Has some awesome titles to his names. I guess he now makes those bad pornos to famous movies.
-
Some sort of Short Circuit rip off. Just watched the trailer good stuff.
-
May have actually been cheaper than having to pay airports to use their location. That would have been a nightmare having to work around their schedules.
-
To deal with a real terminal, also after 911 the whole security shit. But have you ever been to a terminal after like 9 PM? They aren't that busy. They could have filmed it in the midwest, those airports are never busy. Like I understand why he did it, but he didn't have to do it that way. But I think the main reason he made it was because he couldn't find a Terminal he liked. Even though the one in the movie reminds me a lot of Delta's termimnal in JFK.
-
In a mall even.
-
Spielberg traveled around the world to find an actual airport that would let him film for the length of the production, but could not find one.
-
I watched it about 6 months ago and it's still funny as hell. Of course there was one summer when I watched it on HBO every single day so I know it scene for scene.I watched I Love You, Man on the weekend and it's excellent. Great writing, great performances.Vader, you get the movie kit yet?

I never got my copy of the Hurt Locker. Thanks.

As if I don't feel like 20 pounds of shit stuffed into a 5 pound bag already.Let me make sure I still have your mailing address and I'll get a copy out to you.
-
Like noted above. The Army, Navy Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast guard rent them to use for training excercises. The Mythbusters use an abandoned airport around San Francisco all the time to prove or disprove myths. It's the same one the Matrix used to build thier freeway mock up for the chase scene from movie number 2. I'm pretty sure I saw a terminal looking building in the backround of more then one Myhtbuster episode.It seems to me that the Beard just wanted to build the airport which seems kind of wasteful, but then again, the studio gave Stevie the scheckles to burn how he saw fit.

Re: Batman TBI don't think I've ever seen such a concerted exercise in patience. I'm only halfway through the TB and you have calmly and clearly explained your position on the 'Robin' scenario only for Asimov (and others) to keep missing the crux of what you're saying.I don't particularly want to see 'Robin' in another Batman flick, but I also understand that an intelligent film maker such as Nolan would be able to present the character in a completely fresh non-Robin manner yet retain a recognisable aspect.Like I say, they don't deserve so much patience. It's almost tearjerking to read...
-
Can't recall much about Chopping Mall except for a chick's disintegrating head after a well aimed shot from a crap security robot!
-
After awhile I start getting pissed and decide "Fuck it! Nolan HAS to have Robin in it!" The think poor toad shows up after that point when I start being just as pig-headed as every one else.
It is like someone who is trying to have a level-headed debate about abortion and the other side is so stuck in your ways it makes you just as firm and unyielding. -

Ciao. Have a better one.

Great friggin' interview! But how do you not like Mulholland Drive? Even my mom loved that movie!
And I must beg to differ with the gentleman regarding noir as a 'panty-fastener' so far as nubile women are concerned. Michael Bay movies are much more apt in that regard. For example, having absolutely no basis for thinking so, I imagine you to be handsome, for no other reason than your love of noir and old, good movies.
Then again, I am pushing 30, and so perhaps no longer qualified to make ridiculous generalized pronouncements on the vagaries of the nubile. Either way, I will stop embarrassing you now. Keep up the good works! -
You're probably the most qualified person here to make "ridiculous generalized pronouncements on the vagaries of the nubile" except of course for me that is.
-
Is killer. I watch it at least once a year. Back To School and Caddyshack might be the two most quoted movies in history.I figure the late 70's through the late 80's was probably the best decade for funny movies so far.
-
Is also mint. I'm just stating that for the record.
-
Not a fan. It had it's moments but overall didn't care for it.

you need to even if you aren't into the subject matter. The interview is interesting and, as we've come to expect from Continentalops, it's well done. Good work sir.Conti, how did you land the interview? Do you know Mueller or did you cold call him and he said yes?

That sounds like something I need to check out just on the strength of its name.

runs across the following TBer, Most Excellent Ninja, please let me know. I owe him a swift kick to the balls for his relentless pimping of the horrid comic strip Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War. It was god awful and it reached down to the shit level of The Crappening or SPR.

I called him up (actually e-mailed him) and asked for an interview and he was kind enough to accept. I will add I go to the LA Noir City Film Festival every year, and have been going for the past 11-years, so I believed that helped since he sees me there all the time.
-
I didn't think it was that bad, but of course I didn't read the entire thing. I thought the idea of a "anti-" GL Corps was pretty clever. I do think they threw in the kitchen sink though (ok, I understand why Sinestro is here as one of the leaders, but why the hell is Cyborg Superman, Superboy Prime and Ant-Monitor here?).
-
I don't hate the comic strips I used to collect them when I was a kid. I read then on deployments as a way to kill some time that is except for Except for The Walking Dead. That I read when the compilation book comes out every year. I just find it funny that some people have the misplaced idea that funnybooks aren't any more then what they are. To each thier own though.Corps war came out like three or four years ago. Sinestro breaks out from the "anti-matter" universe inorder to take revenge on the rebuilding GLC with his neato yellow ring power. Sinestro manages to infect one of the roughly 725 Gl from Earth with the DC version of Venom that use to infect the orginal GL Hal Jordan, hijinks, shenanigans and hilarity ensue. At least I think that was what happened, I'm not really sure because it's horribly written and the art is about as good as if I drew it. Although all I would be in reality is a fucking tracer.
-
But I don't think of myself as handsome. I just like to think of myself as "ruggedly less ugly".
But I do think you can talk to some girls about film noir, or sports or history or comics or even schlock movies as long as your passionate about them. Just been my experience that women like people you have interest out side of the norm, are not embarrassed by them and have a real interest in them. You can only talk to a guy so much about "how cool is Pirates of the Caribbean was" or "how awesome Coldplay's new album is."
I will say that you don't always have a great shot of picking them up though. Lets be honest, women are looking for guys with certain traits - sure each woman has different traits she is looking for, but I think "interest in old movies" is lower on the totem pole for nubile young women (actual adult women are different - they have actual taste) than maybe "model looks", "famous", "has drugs", "rich" or "successful." Especially out here in LA.
That is why I always carry around an 8-ball of Bolivian flake. -
Been too busy moving into new house. I'm still catching up on stuff from last week. Won't have any next week either. Got this wedding and honeymoon I need to attend. You think she'll get mad if I bring some comics to read on the beach?
-
I will be honest - this blows. I prefer reading your reviews to actually reading the comic books.
-
I only ground my way through the first trade paperback and that was a chore in and of itself.
-
Which is why I think they are so important. I think the simplistic nature of older comics makes it easier to see how the national consciousness was. I mean, I can look at comic books and figure out how America viewed women by how they depicted female comic book characters:
During WWII, the time of Rosie the Riveteer, we had Wonder Woman ("We can do it!")
During the early 60s, the era of Mad Men where woman are expected to stay at home and act like June Cleaver or be a slim, good-looking and quiet, you had female characters like the Wasp, Invisible Woman and Marvel Girl show up. Coincidence that during a time people didn't take women serious they would have a super-heroine's who got smaller and insignificant, disappeared when trouble started, or move things by invisible means so it looked like she didn't do shit? It was also the era of Peter Parker having love interest not being rivals (Lois Lane to Clark Kent) but underlings (Nurse Jane to Doctor Blake & Karen Page is secretary to her boss Matt Murdock).
And in the 70s, during the age of Women's Lib, you had a bunch of female counterparts to male characters because women were saying they were equal to men (Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Valkerie, Red Sonja). Of course, they still had to be good looking. -
I'm analyzing the role female characters had in comic books. Maybe I should go back to the Batman TB to make my case for Robin and The Penguin again.

Naw I couldn't tell you were bored not at all,nope no way... well maybe just a bit a little tiny bit.

I started watching that new GL cartoon the other day. Only got about 15 minutes into it, but it seemed ok. I have nothing to reference it to though since I haven't watched any of those types of cartoons for about 20 years. But as a way of introducing the character to me (I have absolutely no idea about GL) it was fine.
-
I like the fact that he "earns" his powers. Other characters are born with it or have an accident that gives it to them, but GL earns it. And yes, Batman worked his ass off to become Batman, but he didn't earn that title he made it himself.
GL is a guy who was hand picked because he had the credentials and qualifications. He is a Pro-Athlete or Delta Force/DEVGRU member. He didn't get his powers because of birth or just as a gift, he got them because he deserves them and earned it. -
and both teams will continue to suck billy goat cock. WWIII....COMMENCE!
-
Full of lots of AWESOMENESS. Tony is literally insane in the membrane, but the moves in this movie are ridiculous. This may edge out The Protector for me, if only because the ending isn't so happy like his other two.
-
Just know he's got a decoder ring or something. I do remember reading one of his comics a long, long time ago, and I swear there was other green people in it...Green Arrow, right, I think that was his name. And some chick that was purple/red/something.

My friend's girlfriend, who likes comics, watched the GL movie..

She never knew GL's origin. She watched the movie and said "Is *that* really how he got his powers? That's fucking stupid."

Happier even more than if he had Sooty, Sweep, Paddington Bear AND the fucking wombles hogtied in his basement. The fucking weather in this country is absolute shit. I really don't know why we bother playing cricket in this shithole. It's an excercise in futility. They can't even get a fucking game on. It's pathetic and embarrassing. Go fuck yourself, Jarv. Degenerate bastard.
-
It's nice and sunny here. I mean reeeaaaalllly sunny.
-
It's intermittently sunny here, then raining, then sunny again. But in the north of england where the cricket is, it's been raining for the past 10 days. And even thought they now have fairly okay weather (good enough to play) they can't because of all the recent rain they've had. It's shithouse.

Why does Capone sound like...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
he just walked in on his mum getting fucked in the ass by Ron Jeremy in his Gi Joe review. Getting angry at TB'ers for trash-talking the flick before they've seen it. Why has this become a problem now? Why that particular flick? And why open with two paragraphs explaining how you have "no connection" to the flick? I smell a rat.
-

Xi would explain it thusly...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
"Capone doth protest too much, me thinks."
-
I think its a pretty good war flick. I also dig just how many combinations of actors have acted together previously in other war films or tv shows.
-
Along with anything to do with GI Joe. Just does not interest me one iota. And I like Black Hawk Down a lot.
-
Play in the mud you two bit cunts!
-
Training Day.Caught the end of it last night...just a solid flick in my book.The book of 2for2true.
-
I like it. Good flick.
-
It sounds less like someone who enjoyed the film and more like someone who just wants to complain about Talkbackers and critics thinking this will be a terrible film based on its terrible trailers and terrible clips. What an idiot. Black Hawk Down is on tv right, now; tis why I asked.
-
That critics will hate this movie upon release because they won't have it screened early for them. In other words, Paramount knows they have a shit movie, so they don't screen it for critics. Then the critics, upon seeing the film, will just be petty and jealous that they didn't get it early, and thus will give the film a bad review. Since when were good films not screened for critics? And since when did Capone start turning into such a moron?
-
Good flick. But I fucking loathe the completely ridiculous plot point that the entire flick hinges on. The cousins wallet in Hawkes pocket when he's about to be offed in the bathtub. Absolute bullshit. And it nearly ruined the flick for me. Lazy, easy, stupid, moronic fucking writing. It makes me angry because it's such a really good flick otherwise.
-
Its a three quarters good, one quarter shit, with as Droid said one absolute bullshit plot point.GI Joe looks like crap and it sounds like Capone is trying to justify liking the movie. That's the mark of the coward, never apologize for liking a movie that's fucking weak. Just write about why you happened to like that particular movie.

he/them, there are like 1000 Green Lanterns from Earth apparently, are a group of green and black onesy wearing, opera glove clad, big butch green wearing dudes that cruise the universe. Apparently they use the ring to make giant green fists and chains I guess they're into rough trade or something.

Because the D Backs with thier one pitcher with a winning record are coming to town to deal out the damage. By damage I mean lot's of errors, bullpen colapse and one or two towering home runs that won't matter one bit.

-
Hanged himself. While I never once believed his wife strangled him - a ridiculous theory, I am still not convinced that he just killed himself.
-
it's in the realm of possibility. Is it probable? maybe not, but its possible.
-
But from the improbability. Strangulation is not for the squeamish first time killer and certainly not for a female first time killer - even if she has some exposure to it by the drug gangs. Drunk or not, he was a former boxing champ still in prime of life, no way she would have chosen strangulation as the method. That is what made it so ridiculous. A woman who wants to kill her mate, especially a physically powerful one, will look for the most convenient method. Hell anyone for that matter will look for a convenient method. Strangulation is far to intimate, and exotic for a first time killer. I never believed it.
-
Like in Italy. If you've ever read "Monster of Florence" you will see how bad some of the police departments in the world are (which is why I think that Amanda Knox is innocent).
I'm not saying Brazil has corrupt police (they may be) but they may just very well be incompetent as hell when working a murder scene. -
Brazil takes the comcept of Mordida(yes I know the term is mainly for Mexico and Brazil is Portugese but it works)to a whole new level. The word corruption doesn't even begin to cover how Brazil works.TKD you know as well as I do that a smaller, weaker person can take a bigger stronger person. Especially if it's an ambush type of attack. Does it happen often, no, but it does happen; so it's possible. Again I'm not saying she did it I'm just saying its possible that she could have.
-
Strangling someone passed (especially if she spiked his drink) out doesn't require strength or size. I could easily see someone drug someone and than, after they have passed out, frantically trying to figure out what to kill him with.
But I guess I am going to wait before making any guesses because I am beginning to wonder how competent the Brazilian police are. What they presented as first as evidence, a competent homicide detective from LA, NY or Scotland Yards might have immediately recognized as immaterial or see in a different light. -
Hate to say it, but Noted_Sage Jose_Canseco was right--a good 80% (at least) of the players back then were on the juice. Why not? no testing, no penalty, everyone looked the other way, they got gazillions for doing it-so---there ya be. Jose_Canseco Also saithe that 'there's a Hall of Famer in there right now who was on the juice'. Dang. Peter Gammons we hardly knew ya---
-
You referenced Peter Gammons and as joke(which he is) so it's a double first. Well played sir, well played. Of course you, me, Pillow and maybe TKD will get the joke but still well done.
-
Gud'un Sal.
Xi, Conti - this TB may be out of top ten so y'all might not read it, but anyway my contention was never that she could NOT have done it. Of course she could. My contention is that strangulation is such an 'exotic' and personal way of killing someone that if it was pre-meditated - she drugged him or got him so drunk as to pass out. Then planned on killing him, she probably would have chosen an easier method of killing. Strangulation is far from common in domestic killings when the wife is the killer - even in latin or South American countries. It generally is the simplest soultion that people come to when deciding to commit such an act, and a female is even more likely to choose a quicker, cleaner more efficient and easier methid. Bludgeoning, shooting, stabbing, poisoning. Now maybe she wanted to make it look like suicide or murder - and all the facts are still not in, and yes the brazillian police are incompetent. but unless she had help, I would never believe she chose strangulation as the method of killing. Now if another accomplice is found, then all bets are off. -

C'mon that tongue shoulda fallen outta his mouth 35 years ago. He won't shaddap until Mickey Cochrane walks these hallowed halls again. Not humanly possible.

C'mon google his physique when he was managin' the Dodgers/Robins around '24, tell me that don't look like the body of a juicer.

No other way to explain how a white man in his position of power could be so stupid yet stay in power for so long. W. Bush never had it so bad.

C'mon he drank or inhaled everything known to man under the sun. You don't think that he didn't roid up? Check out his bouts w/ the Marshmallow Salesmen back when. Boy was a roid rager and then some.

C'mon he was a sure roider. Could down a case of Bud in 3 innings flat.

I'm no hero. I'm just a guy blessed with a special ability. And I saw an opportunity to reward the long suffering fans - yes, it meant sacrifice on my part.

But I did it for the fans!
-
Actually this guess is half-serious. You have a guy who was a really good player for 15 years, but injury prone and about done, then BANG-in his mid-30's, he suddenly has this Great run of years from '92-96 for the Jays and the Twins. And he was a former coke head to boot, too. Big spike in stats late in career? Prior chemical use? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. You tell me.

To win the series? Joe something? Is he in? Just look at recent inductees who retired in past ten years. Bound to be a few.

Say it aint so!
But I could believe -
Really Curt? Nothing in the '93 Phillies locker room? Darren Daulton, Incaviglia, Lenny fucking Dykstra, John Kruk(maybe), Tommy Greene, David Hollins? Come on here. The '01 D-backs? Hello?! Jay Bell, Louis Gonzalez, Matt Williams names don't ring no bells? Seriously? and of course, for Da Sawks '04-07--really? Manny? Ortiz? Nomar?(well...you tell me)etc? Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrre. Idiot.
-
Naw, he never struck me as a Roider per se, but---Roberto Alomar was !! at least according to his ex-
-
Rickey was always out for Rickey's best interests. And he Was on the same team as Jose for a while am sure, too. '89 esp.
-
And he's considered a probable roider too, he's dead now sadly.
-
Yeah 'Berto roided up
-
I don't think so with that physique.
But it could explain him weight gain in his retirement, his actions later in his life ('roid rage maybe) and his health problems.
Still his game 6 home run and Jack Buck saying "We'll see you tomorrow night" will be one of my favorite memories. -
I thought this talkback was reserved for cricket!
-
But he was even mentioned by Bill James as being a possible roider. Look-guys like Larry Walker, Jeff Bagwell, Steve Finley, Louis Gonzalez and Brady Anderson ALL had these massive career spikes at a far later time in the normal career path that just, well, bespeakes Roid usage. I've no idea if Larry Walker was a roider, but c'mon-look at his peers, look at his injury history, etc-you tell me. Suddenly at 35 Louis Gonzalez, Greg Vaughn and Brady Anderson are doing what only George Foster and Cecil Fielder did between '65 and '95? Brady Anderson w/ 51 homers in '96 was about as likely as Harold running a 4 minute mile. Ain't happening.

You got to be willing to kill your babies.
Or as this anecdote puts it: A director, his cast and crew had a shot to do so they got up early one morning and climbed it. About two hours later they got there and immediately started setting up. Another two hours they were ready, just in time for sunrise and the magic hour. They had just enough time to get one shot off, but the actors and the camera movement was perfect. They had spent hours and tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars for just one shot, but they nailed it.
The editor saw it two weeks later while he was cutting the movie and said "Well, this is the first thing that has to go" and cut it out.
The moral: be ruthless. -
I restarted my computer and now FCP says "Unable to open project file". And my autosaves from the past few hours won't work either...
-
Seriously, gorramnit.
-
And doing a P-Ram. FCP is very jinky at times - you are best off just rebooting sometimes.
-
That's the thing- I restarted the computer and when I reopened the project I got the error message. I'll try to restart again but I don't think that'll work. What's the P-Ram thing?
-
Hit restart and hold down Option, Command, P & R and it will start up, restart, start up, restart, ect. Do this about four times and then let go.
Best bet - do you have another system? Take the project over there, see if it opens, if it does save it as a different name and bring it back to your machine where the media is. -
The project and the capture scratch are all on an external hard drive. I move to the project to my computer hd and it still won't open.
-
Like -1083 or -967 or anything like that right? Just "File won't open"?
-
It goes through the "Reading Files" timeline and before it finishes, a message pops up saying "Unable to open project file"
-
If you have your media on a capture scratch, disconnect that and try opening it up, The problem might actually be some piece of media you have that is not relinking right (I doubt it though)...If not we try step two.
-
You mean, move my project to the computer, disconnect the hard drive where the Capture scratch and media are, and see if it'll open that way?
-
If you do, just copy the project to the internal hard drive, unmount the capture scratch (if it is a partitioned drive you can do that too) and try opening the project.
-
My capture scratch is around 30 gigs. I need to do some reshuffling to make that work. I'm still not sure what you mean by "disconnecting" or "unmounting" the capture scratch.
-
I mean, where are you sending your media? Do you have your hard drive and than an external drive where you are sending the media, or are you capturing and storing right to the hard drive?
-
I usually have my hard drive (the actual computer) and an external drive hooked up for all the media.If not on the external drive, I partition my internal drive so I can store media there without it interfering with the hard drive.
-
I have an external hard drive that I keep all my capture scratch and media on. Actually, all my project files are on there since I dont have a lot of room on my cpu.
So, my FCP project file is on the external, and my scratch disks are on the external. So all my capture scratch, my media files, etc, are on the external hd. -
I mean just the project - not the media, not the audio renders or renders or thumbnails waves, just the project. The current one you are working on.
-
Take the actual project you want to open and put it on your hd. Just the latest version. NExt step...
-
You can either throw the drive icon in the trash or you can go to disk utilities and highlight the name of the drive there and hit unmount.
(By the way, if this is stuff you know how to do I am not trying to sound condescending. I just prefer assuming no one knows what they are doing).
Ok after unmounting we go to next step... -
And once again when I say project, it should be only one project. Not the project folder, just the icon for the latest session you were working on. Double click or open it or whatever and lets see if it will open now that it doesn't have any media..let me know if it opens.
-
That might not be the problem.
Tell me if you can do the steps I laid out and were able to try and open the project. -
I'm very new to going indepth with how Macs work.
-
...and open your project or not, or if you got confused about a step and then we'll be back track.
-
You mean eject right
-
Unmount, eject or get the fuck out of there.
-
And I still get the same error message.
-
Ok, let me think here for one second.

I have an EC08 Super Cigarette I use at home as my Fiancee doesn't smoke. I got it on Amazon from here;http://tinyurl.com/m9mywvIt works great - I get a nice hit but no stains or lingering smell. It also works out cheaper than regular smokes! You have to make sure you keep the batteries charged and a regular supply of refills handy (also from amazon - eHome are really good and they usually arrive two days after ordering) but it really does the job.In other news;1)Paddington would kick Pooh's arse2)AsimovLives is usually wrong but I admire his mentalist passion3)The best bit of view to a Kill is where Bond crashes through the boat in Paris and it is blatently a dummy in a dinner jacket that lands on the cake.Also, I spotted this on the way to work today - is there any bigger type of wanker than one who wears a suit jacket with shorts?
-
Make a duplicate (Command-D) and then change the name of the project and try to open it. I doubt it will work but try...
-
I will be honest, I am running out of things to tell you. Not to make excuses, but I am not an engineer or technical support. I know guys who probably could have got you through this in 10 minutes...
So I am going to suggest, go to software update (finder page, the apple icon on the left top, scroll down to second or third item) and hit that and maybe update to the latest FCP if you haven't.
I will try to think of something else in the meantime... -
Turn it off. Wait one minute. Turn it on. If it doesn't work after that then shout obsenities, throw it against a wall and go buy a new one.
-
I only had the problem when I restarted the computer. I had restarted FCP before, without restarting the entire cpu, and it worked fine. But once I retstarted the entire cpu- thats when the project stopped opening. It happened earlier this evening, when I tried to pick my work up from the previous morning (with like a 12 hr break in between), and I got the same error message. fortunately, I just opened an autosave and that worked. But now the autosaves wont work beyond that time of morning. Nothing from the past 6 hours works.
-
You sound like an editor already.
Or does the same thing happen on your job. -
What kills me is I know the project is there. It tries to open, it starts loading things. Then it fails. In the meantime, Im trying to furiously recreate what I've done the past 5-6 hours before the breakdown. I've got to get this thing in the mail today.
-
Have you updated anything since then? Like Quicktime or anything like that?
-
If you are working and you can't trust the autosave, make sure you are saving every 20 minutes or so. 2) Make a cop of the project and store it on a flashdrive or zip drive every hour. If something happens you will be able to open it.
You might want to set your cell phone or watch alarm.
I'll see if I can find anything on the internet about this problem. I have faced something like it only once but I had access to another system so I could open it on that one. -
I ususally do a Command-S to save after every single change I make.
-
When it won't let you open it.
I feel for you Vader. Believe me, I can understand how frustrating it can be when something isn't working for technical reasons and you have no fucking clue what it is.
Hopefully I can find an answer on the internet or at least you can recreate what you did very quickly from memory. -
Like preferences? If you haven't, you should
-
In the Library folder you should find a preference folder. In there you will find something that says com.apple.FnalCutPro.plist
Throw that out. Just remember, when you throw it away you'll have to reset the preferences (auto-save, how many auto-saves, number of undoes, etc. So redo your preferences if this works after it reopens. -
The battle for the bottom has begun, who has the lack of intestinal fortitude and bad basic skills to take this highly dubious honor? Is it the Metropolitans of NYC or the Diamondbacks of AZ. Only time and personal pain will tell us.
-
Most def.
-
Hit the Final Cut tab (second one from the left on the top bar of the screen) and scroll down to user preferences. That will give you all the personal preference options you want: how many autosaves, how long before each one, if you want to auto-render, etc. You might one to check system settings and audio/video settings as well, just to make sure it is set the way you want it.
-
Except for the "report dropped frames during playback". everytime I trash the preferences, they pop right back up without me having to change them or reset them.
-
So try opening it after trashing preferences. If it does open, save it under a different name and double check it settings, especially that it has an auto-save and where they are being saved.
-
Did the issue get solved?
-
But I've been working hard to get back to where I was before the project crapped out on me. I think the first one was better than what I have now, but there's nothing else I can do but try to finish this, lay down the music, pump it out on DVD, then mail it off to Amazon and hope for the best. I was planning on including the longer cut on there, to show them the idea I wanted to include in the ad but couldn't due to time. They may like that idea better than the one I used in its stead. So, in the oldproject, I had the secondary, longer cut saved in a different sequence. But that's gone too now I spose. Well no, its not gone. Its THERE, it just won't let me open it.
-
I know you were up until, or past, 3 am on your side, and I really appreciate you trying to help me out of my pickle.

You might want to project manage it a little. Make a folder in your HD called Final Cut Projects, then make a folder for each of your projects. Have only your projects there and have all the media, the autosave vault, the renders, etc. go to your external drive. That way if that drive fries (you never know) you still have your project on your HD and can recapture everything. Also if something happens to your HD and you have to wipe it clean you have the autosave vault on your external drive so you can pull up a backup.
Not saying this would have prevented the problem you were having but it might help in the future if you get some sort of drive problems. -
C'mon over here and I'll show you a monsoon. Stop trying to make excuses you dirty Husky fucker.

You know it to be so. Search your feelings.

I didn't get any sleep, and I still haven't slept a wink since wednesday night, but I'm very happy with the finished product. I sent it off this afternoon around 3:30. Now I'm extremely loopy. I feel like I'm drunk. Driving around town this afternoon/evening was a bad idea, as I was definitely intoxicated. Thanks for the tip on project management. For some reason, I thought it was better to keep the project files in the same place as the media scratch. But then, I'm fairly new to Macs. We used them in college but without any instruction whatsoever; just a "figure it out on our own" kinda thing. Which works great, except when things fall apart. Which they're wont to do.

and the only friend he has is the AI that regulates all the machinery. I also imagine him to be a closet Everybody Loves Raymond fan. Until someone disproves this I will think it true.
-
I finished Matter. Slamming ending. It did not excuse the ponderous middle and especially the tedious parts with Oramen and the Falls. But Oramen was actually my favorite. Did not surprise me that he bought it - that is what Banks does. But still. He damn near killed everyone this time! Djan kicked ass until the end. Banks trademark ending, 'splosions, and lots and lots of death and major characters biting the dust. I really did enjoy the last third, but overall the book was mediocre at best.

I have another beer for ya. Flying Dog Double Dog Pale Ale. 11.5 % alcohol! That shit will knock you on your ass, wipe it, then flush you down the terlet! Good shit!
-
Fingers a bit fucked up
-
out of the top 10?
-
And it was only cricket talk that was keeping us afloat
-
But on my way there a friend text me to tell me the cops busted it.

He then told me that there was a lot of hot girls there
by continentalop
I'm like, why the hell are you telling me this? What good does that do me know the party ended?
That's like telling a guy on his death bed that they will have a cure for his disease by tomorrow. Much good it does him now... -
Some douches (or Tongue Cleaners as we call them around here) decided to be loud and throw bottles.
You are at a party with free food, drink and hot women, so you decide to act like an asshole and risk the chance of it ending soon? Some people don't really plan things out. -
11.5%? Is that legal?
-
I think Cheese of Nazareth has gone insane
-
But Fedor has not signed with the UFC so their will be no Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brock Lesnar anytime soon.
-
For FCP? You can watch it for free at apple.com.
Not the best tutorial, but it is ok. -
No way that movie is good.
Can anyone say payolla? -
I've really missed you guys. I hope you haven't changed the locks on me.
-
And why is she the most repulsive person on here? I'm not saying because "she" claims to be a women and that there is a double standard, but if a guy (which I suspect "she" really is) talked a vulgar as her I would find him just as disgusting.
I mean we have a girl here named menstrual blitz and I don't find her vomit inducing when she writes. -
But still have ways to go to make sure we don't fall off again.
-
I won't even bother asking what I've missed. How are you, Continentalop? Great to see ya!
-
Hi Mavra. Welcome back.
-
Because all these Tongue Cleaners have been playing hooky and letting this place slide out of the top 10.
-
ChoclatWoman? Not one of the CoC, I take it?
-
But I want to make amends.
-
After just taking a quick scan of Twitch, but NOOOOO. Not even on the top 10 anymore.
-
Behold, the weekend savior! Honor is yours, certainly.
-
Not that I can imagine.
I don't hate "her", but I find "her" act to be so obvious.
What we have around here is a lot of DGDB wannabe's without any of his charm. -
I couldn't ask for anything more than that.
-
Is Danny still around here or is he strictly AIB now?
-
Made out of the Brim's fallen 'stache hairs. It would be a blessed place. ;)
-
Stuntcock told me that him and Danny just kind of got sick of this place (AICN, not Twitch). I think they still "lurk", but just don't wanna log on.
I understand how they feel, besides Twitch this place is basically dead to me. -
I haven't been over to AIB for ages either. That may be my next stop. I've got lots of catching up to do.
-
Besides, I am a humble man and need no recognition.
In that spirit, reminder I have a new interview at AIBN this Wednesday. -
I'm sure I haven't brought it up yet...
-
With who?
-
Whatever that is.
-
I don't know what it is either, but we should not rightly be below anything described as "seat wetting".
-
Hate when that sort of thing happens.
-
Need to bone up on honest posting here.
-
Just for the record. Everyone should go do that.
-
Fucking Time Warner.
-
Late and slightly buzzed.
-
Eddie Muller, the "czar of noir", was last wednesday; Scott Sanders, director of Black Dynamite, this week - unless something unforeseen happens.
-
I just made the first fan post on AIB's Facebook wall. That is just wrong. They should be full of Balerific graffiti.
-
And my friend is sleeping over on the couch because he is to drunk to drive. Guy snores like a fucking chainsaw.
-
Sounds fun! How do you go about setting up interviews? Do you contact them or do they contact you?
-
Like a lead zepplin. I'm going after Futurama now.
-
On Santa Monica and blackmailing them into doing an interview. I'm still hoping to get Eddie Murphy.
-
I'll stick with ya kid.
-
Room to breath
-
They should be embarrassed for getting caught with some of these Hollywood types. God only knows where some of THOSE have been.
-
Speaking of tranny hookers.
-
I contact them. I've been out here 13-years so I know a little bit about who to talk to and how to get in touch with people, to a degree.
I've actually got a bunch of people lined up, but I don't want to make any promises because trying to get to sit down, on the phone or just answer the questions over the internet is turning into a real pain in the ass. -
That's very cool. Who was your favorite interview, if you don't mind my asking?
-
Because technically he is the only one I finished.
I am supposed to meet Scott Sanders tomorrow, and I have another interview is slated for Monday or Tuesday. I have two other people who have agreed but I have yet to get hard dates.
The only other guy I have really interviewed is Jason Eisener and I am still waiting to get the rest of his answers to my questions. -
It's bound to happen sometime.
-
Although I would love to interview Shane Hurlbutt, ligt tweaker extraordinaire, on the anniversary of the Balerant.
-
I'm supposed to ask you a question if I should bump into you sometime. Something about if you are familiar with a pub in Manchester near a candle factory. I'm having a loss at the name, but think I would remember it if it was mentioned again.
-
I'm going to bed. Good night Mavra. Turn out the lights when you leave.
-
Thanks for the welcome back. It's been surreal!
-
here. Benny fucking hill? Everybody loves raymond? Jesus. Anyhoo, I'm just waiting for Mrs. Jarv so I thought I'd drop in. Hope it's all going well. Ciao.
-
EVERYONE has a secret limited profile that you can't look at unless you're friends with them. That *really* hinders my stalker tendencies.
-
Did you fuckers forget about me!? Cower before GIANT PIG meatbags! For I shall rip open the stomachs of mine enemy and feed on his entrails!
-
I finally moved out of my mom's place a few weeks ago, so when I went back to grab some more things last week, I saw it waiting for me on the table. I can't wait to get started, but right now we can't get the tv in the living room to switch video inputs (its one of those idiot tvs that can't work without a remote control). I was familiar with Outlander, TGTBaTW, and the Red Cliff films, but the others were completely foreign to me. Thanks again kind sir, I'll have to sent you up something nice.
-
The "secretive" thing seems to be automatic. Is there a way to turn it off? And Whatsamatta? Just 'cause you're stalking can't you still be friends? Sometimes it goes hand-in-hand.
-
Morning Droid. Heheheh
-
wiping my hard drive would result in having two of every video file, with each claiming to take up the same amount of 'actual size on disk' and each apparently stored in EXACTLY the same spot? Can i just delete one of each pair?
-
Along with the Twittle Twattle I'm proud to say I've never used them. Those places are the stupidiest form of navel gazing I've ever seen, that is until the next dumb one comes along.I'm thinking that should be in about 5 minutes. The wannabe hipster doofuses demand new and exciting ways to bore you to tears.
-
Don't ask ask me. I'm a unrepentant Luddite. Now if you have a question about tools, cars, carpentry or the like...
-
I can do that then it's off to sleep.
-
Good to see you back.
-
You make it a habit to hang around Santa Monica Blvd? As a suggestion get a good camera with low light capabillity. Pictures are the key to blackmail. Video is better.
-
Nothing against Renner but I can't picture him as the road Warrior. Unless they are going to reboot the whole thing and start over.
-
because it's nearly 0230 hrs and I'm out of material.
-
morhefuckedr, DAmmit. too pissed. Will yty later.
-
It's good to be back. I stayed away too long. This is from me to you, Xi: http://tinurl.us/7bfbd1 :)
-
I moved house and was 2 weeks without any internets (it's a series of tubes)
-
I read your interview on AIB. Good, I enjoyed it. I liked the irreverent nature of some of the questions!On one of the other Tb's I noticed you namecheck Brit film Dead Of Night. Really weird, cos I just watched it again the night before I saw the mention! Might review it for the MyMavra crew...
-
Pub near a candle factory...You've stumped me. I'm wracking my brains but I can't think of a pub near a candle factory. Maybe it's just a short circuit and it'll come to me.I do recall a pub in Chester (outside Manchester) which was outside a candle place. Can't remember the name of that either.P.S. Good to see you.
-
it was much better than the first one, which i didn't really care for. small gripes: the two closes seas to the pyramids are about 120 and 170 kilometers from them. They certainly don't point to petra, which is not north of them but pretty much due east. and really i think they should have kept indy jr away from the localation of indy 3. any hoo.
-
What did you think of the racism in Transformers? Two movies have now portrayed middle aged white folk as blithering idiots. I'm a middle aged white person and find this depiction personally offensive.It's a disgrace.
-
i'm on the shy side of being a middle aged white person and i feel my intelligence is slipping and my waist line is expanding. I think it's the alcohol abuse.
-
except flash gordon serials, hell's kitchen and Henry Fool (again). Oh, and Jackson Publick interviews. Because I want to have his baby.
I need to get on the ball so I'll have something to post about. What have y'all been watching? -
both, and i think one problem with them is that the robots are too intricate. there are too many bits and pieces: they just look like a mecano set tipped out on the floor. In the cartoon they were of a very simple design. The robots should have been more simple looking.
-
I have been mostly watching Korean movies.Once Upon A Time In Korea, Going By The Book, MUSA, The Restless & A Bittersweet Life. Though I didn't dislike any of them, I wasn't exactly ecstatic either.Haven't managed to get down to see Antichrist. Drat and double drat.
-
crispen glover career resurgence?
-
His good stuff anyways. And little old man Jackie Wright was a cool prop too. Some of Hill's stuff was SO racist-Chow Mein for example, and I will FF thru it-but his fun stuff-all things Robin Hood/Musketeers Silent movie type shit, or Fred Scuttle, or his singing story teller(you know it when you see it) or some of his satire-was pretty dead on. He was Red Skelton or Milton Berle, basically if you liked them, you'll like Benny, and if you don't, you won't. I enjoyed the Giant Robots flick but I agree w/ Conti Pops-GI Jose looks bad, no two ways about it, and the positive reviews here for it--egads they jest stink.
-
good in rotf shit in transformers.
-
I did like his performance. Could've done without that close-up of his undercrackers though...
-
seeing him in either of those movies just makes me sad.
-
Have you seen crispin's movie? the one with the tits and the down's syndrome kids? I have not.
-
every time I see Turturro I instantly think of Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink.
-
i got dragged along to see a photographer. They seemed quite good actually. they told us one thing that they do is they make a dvd album of our photos with a musical back ground. They said what song do you want in the background? I think they usually get 'my heart will go on' or 'i would do anything for love' my suggestion was not very popular: the benny hill theme song.
-
I see Turturro, I think of those fuckin undercrackers...
-
barton fink and millers crossing are just awesome. you know that scene in millers crossing had very little diretion? they just basically told him to make it up on the fly. and no i have seen that cripen glover movie. that loveable larikin.

trailer looks all right.But I'll never forgive Jeunet for Alien Resurrection. Sacre Bleu! Merde!
-
What's with the no-show Hierro trailer? Seems to have been removed from everywhere.
-
Could be good. I was hoping Sam Neill somewhere in that trailer was going to say - "Where we're going you won't need eyes to see..."Oh, it's family friendly. Ah, bollocks.

16 minutes!Suppose I'd better watch it then...

Burden of Dreams. Les Blank's doc on Herzog and the making of Fitzcarraldo. Exciting!
-
Anybody else around these parts like him? He seems to be a love him or hate him kind of guy...
He makes about the only sort of romantic comedy that I can stomach. -
the old kind, that is.
-
I liked Love, Actually also. Even though the movie seemed to revel in the overwhelming sweetness to the point of saying "shoot yourself! do it now!". I am specifically referring to the end with "God Only Knows" playing over the montage of people embracing. And then the screen starts splitting. And then splits again, and so on, until you are absolutely overwhelmed. But in a good way. Mostly.
That song gets me every time! And the casting of W. and Blair was perfect. -
but just barely.
-
when was the last time anybody watched that?
I've got the Queen song stuck in my head: "FLASH!....AAAHH-aaahhhhh...he's a mirACLE!!" Yup. -
watched it yesterday. I liked it. Took me a couple minutes to get used to Goldblum though. I didn't know he was in it, and then he seemed like he was trying to act like a person in a Hal Hartley movie. Then he just seemed like a person in a Hal Hartley movie. Plus he really wasn't in it that much.
-
Goldblum was in it, I'd probably have watched it sooner!
-
thanks to Kloipy's review over at mymavra, I was inspired to seek out info on the budget for The Brown Bunny. And holy shit, it's the same as for The Hurt Locker! 10 million. Something is wrong with the world.
-
D. Vader.
-
anybody seen it? think i'm going to watch that instead. That Albert Maysles knows his way around a camera.
-
Menstrual Blitz.

Re: ChoclatWoman
Dude, seriously, AGREED. I have actually winced reading some of CW's posts. -
Seen anything good lately?
-
I've only seen a handful of her posts in the past, and the last post I saw was where she said she'd give Jeremy Renner fisting rights. Where else is she posting, bc I can't find her in the Gary Oldman story, or any others I'd assume Conti is posting in.
-
the last place I saw her....Some tb I didn't care about....what was it?
-
but the ones i've seen have been pretty rough.
-
and there's little credible reason to think so, but I, too, have doubted that CW is female. Unless it's some sort of ugly-on-purpose kind of thing, to make others think about what they're saying? My gut tells me that is over-extending the benefit of the doubt. Either way, CW = HARSH.
-
Like in a few hours! To the online book depository!
-
I've been working on a 30 second fake commercial for a contest all week and haven't had much time to see anything else since I caught [REC] last week. Since Harry Potter is no longer the top film at the box office, I may see it this week sometime. Currently, I'm watching North by Northwest on TCM while I shop Criterion dvds.
-
about the commercial contest?
Love North by Northwest. Man, TCM is the only thing I miss about TV.
-
The dates Amazon had up for when judging would begin, finalists announced, etc, was still based on the old schedule with the old due date of July 17. They extended the deadline to the 31, so I assume the announcements will be extended until either the end of the month or beginning of september. I'll keep you guys notified when finalists are released and (if I'm chosen) judging begins.

Fuck work

Aug 03, 2009 3:26:34 AM CDT
On the weekend I watched... The Hangover
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Which was fairly amusing, but fuck me, it wasn't nearly as funny as every fucking man and his dog has been making it out to be. And quite honestly, without that fat bearded bloke, I probably would've laughed about twice. And I really don't know what it is about that bag of cocks Bradley Cooper, but I can't fucking stand him. He is to actors as Julia Roberts is to actresses.
-
Aug 03, 2009 3:34:23 AM CDT
Also watched... Field of Dreams
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Which is just fucking brilliant.
-
As part of my Billy Wilder-thon. Quality. And Audrey Hepburn is gorgeous. Shits all over the remake.
-
Aug 03, 2009 3:42:22 AM CDT
Also watched... Picture Perfect
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Because the missus spied it when I was flicking through channels. It's shit.
-
Aug 03, 2009 3:44:46 AM CDT
Also fell asleep watching... Appaloosa
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Which was okay up to that point. A bit slow and uninvolving though.
-
Good movie but I wish they stayed with the Paki investigator and less with Angelina Jolie. In fact, I wish she wasn't in it. I didn't think she was bad, far from it, but she had so much more star presence in the film than the other actors she unbalanced the film. You expected her to be on screen much more, and when she was you felt her fame and presence overpower the other actors. I have expected these tough Pakistan Intelligence officers and American diplomats to be begging to get Angelina something to drink instead of give her the runaround.
General rule, you can never cast just one major star in a movie, and if you do don't cast him or her in a part where they are supposed to be the underdog. It's hard to buy that. -
I just realized I haven't seen nearly enough movies that have been made in the last couple of years. People are bringing up titles to films at parties or bars that I haven't seen.
I'm pretty sure people are getting sick of me asking them if they have seen Nightmare Alley, the Warriors or Vice Squad over-and-over. Time to expand my taste. -
really are getting a tongue lashing from this site. Every review has been positive.
-
Charlie Wilsons War is okay. Haven't seen A Mighty Heart.
-
I am waiting to see what the mainstream critics say, and even then I won't like the film. It won't be the GI JOE I grew up with. It might be good, but I will have to wait at least a couple of months to accept that it isn't Larry Hama's vision before I can see it.
But who am I kidding...no way that thing can be good. -
Who is in that?
-
is a lousy rom-com with Jennifer Aniston. Avoid like the plague.
-
Ok, Office Space was good, and The Good Girl was ok, but what else has she done that is any good?
-
I mentioned after the first review of GI Joe was posted that I smelled a rat. I think it was Capones review, but it really stank of a calculated attack on tb'ers. Hardly any of it actually reviewed the flick. It was more a diatribe against "talkbackers who judge films before they see them". And now that these other reviews have been posted, I really do believe that there is something dodgy going on. I will have to actually wait to see the flick to be sure though. Maybe it is okay. I do doubt it though.
-
I'm trying to think of one... Other than Office Space... She's The One... The Edward Burns flick. That was ages ago though. Just looking at her wikipedia, she was in a Ferris Bueller tv show that I never knew existed! And she was Jeannie Bueller! Must... Find... This... Show...
-
Aug 03, 2009 4:17:13 AM CDT
I never got why you can't judge a film before seeing it
by continentalop
Sure you fucking can. It is called an ad campaign. We didn't tell them what clips to release or what trailer to make - Paramount and the producers did that. They have only themselves to blame if what people have seen makes them cringe.
Plus judging a movie based on actors, directors and producers is known as making a educated guess - we have seen what they have done in the past and can use that knowledge to try and guess what they will do in the future. It's called looking at their record. By Capone's and the rest of AICN's logic you should leave your kids with convicted pedophile Uncle Ernie, because you can't judge him until you see what he does with them that night instead of looking at his past conduct. -
And it appears the Mets' pitching staff is good for making every other team's offense look consistent. I am conceding the series already since you have Haren pitching today. Bet you didn't know 2/3 of the Mets' lineup.
-
And I caught Sabrina this morning, and yes, Audrey Hepburn was amazingly hot. Why they felt the need to remake that, I have no idea.
-

What I saw from the trailers of GI Joe is a shit movie
by just pillow talk
The fx looked like shit in the trailers. But really, what the fuck are people expecting from this? Ain't no way there would be a "serious" movie made out of this material. It's probably not as bad as Transformers, but c'mon.
-
distributor has Flying Dog Double Dog Pale Ale. 11.5%...ruff-ruff!
-
Comes in a 4-pack and by the end you're buzzing. Drunk if stomach is empty. Tasty stuff. I've been drinking it for over a year now.Glad you got the movie kit Vader.I really liked Charlie Wilson's War. But then again I'll watch anything with Philip Seymour Hoffman and he was brilliant in the movie.Appaloosa was grade A shit. WTF was Ed Harris thinking writing in a female character you hated from minute one and casting her with Renee Zellweger.I watched Flash Gordon 6 months ago and it still holds up as cheesy goodness. Sydow, Topol and Blessed coming onboard was a masterstroke. And whoever wrote that thing deserves an honorary degree from Yale or Harvard or something. Every line is quotable.
-
If there is an all to hello! Hee hee. Fred has rare day off. Mr. Hawaiian Organ Donor - Fred would like a movie kit with Ultraman! Fred never gives up! Hee hee.Continentalop - That was a very good analogy about why we can be wary of a movie before it is shown. A bit creepy too! Just Pillow Talk -hello! 11.5% Oh my! Fred would get drunk just looking at it!
-
Both the Buster Crabbe serials as well as the 1980 movie.

Fred has a question about Popeye the sailor
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred watching classic cartoons now. Fred always wondered why Popeye allowed Blutto to kick his butt for 3/4 of cartoon, then at last minute eats spinach? If it were Fred, as soon as Mr Blutarski started getting his mean on, Fred would have popped open can of spinach and made Blutto cry like a two year old.
-
Must show youngins the effects of NOT eating spinach in order to make it appealing even though hardly palatable.
-
Hi. Fred has really missed you!
-
eating spinach every hour, just waiting to tool on Bluto at a moment's notice.
-
Hook them through the pleasure of violence rather than fear of invisible forces from beyond time and space. Are vegetables a tool of the Evil Empire (whoever the Evil Empire is this week)?
-
We have done this in the past - where you seem to be able to summon humble Fred, but hokey smokes this is weird! Where have you been? Yes, Fred suspects it was spinach growers behind Popeye
-
Watched that a few weeks ago. I still think my favorite part is Flash running though Ming's guards like he's on the football field in the throne room in the beginning. Just hysterical stuff.
-
And Pillow, and Wolf, and Hod, and Xiphos, and Toad, and Toto and everyone else.
-
spinach growers never get no respect.
-
Fred worried about this season?
-
Bah!
-
At least your Mets play professional Baseball. Fred's Pirates were kicked out of the league - or so it seems. But Fred can not really complain about sports in the burgh this year!
-
But I have escaped from their clutches. Dirk must take some of the credit for that. I plan on being back here for good, or at least as good as I can be.
-
I prefer kale, especially in soup.
-
Does not want 2010 to be repeat of 2006 - last time Steelers defended crown. Ben self destructed then. Now with rape case - even though everyone thinks it is bogus, Tomlin going to crack whip.

Did you fall under the spell of Dirk the gigolo Amoeba again?
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Oh Mavra Chang! Fred feels badly. Dirks evil ways and the strange fascination that females of every species, plant group and dust ball, seem to have for him have baffled humble Fred for a long time.
-
An evil force has held me hostage (I suspect they were paid to do so by Toad, but haven't proven it yet). Dirk sabotaged their force field and battled the malevolent minions to set me free. Dirk is my Hero.
-
Aug 03, 2009 8:48:38 AM CDT
Wow, Fred unfairly maligned the Heroic Dirk the Amoeba
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred humbly apologizes to Dirk. Perhaps it was all that time spent hiding out from the Russian mafia in the Ukraine and the lovesick Moose, that convinced Dirk to men his ways.
-
Hee hee
-
Men are sometimes less honorable than amoeba.
-
But I haven't been to sleep yet and I have to get up in about 2 hours. I really really need a nap. :) It's fantastic to see you, Fred. I'm going to be here much more often than I have been, promise!
-
Aug 03, 2009 8:56:52 AM CDT
Fred laughs very hard at your ongoing affair with Toadkillerdog
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
Fred saw Toadkillerdog on the boards last week. He was talking about going into hiding if you came back. And wearing a helmet. Fred thinks he said he was going to give up beer as well -Fred does not believe that!
-
Sleep well. Perhaps Therwolf will show up before Fred must skedaddle.
-
I've found someone to replace him. He'll never believe it, but it's true. See you soon Fred. Take care and have an awesome day!
-
They are basically a minor league team for the rest of the league to pick players from. They should just disband the team, along with another one and knock two teams from the league. Take out the Nats for instance.
-
But most people here while disgusted at what has happened recently and in past 17 years, realize that the new regime deserves to be given a chance. While Fred is not hopeful that this latest plan will work - rebuilding farm system with all of the prospects they received in the trades, it is the only hope fans have.
-
For years when the Expos were my backup team behind the Jays, I had to suffer through year after year of watching the team with the very best farm system in all of baseball ship off the best talent in the league to other teams.The football scene in Flash Gordan is priceless."Maybe you should execute their trainer."
-
Unfortunately, the Pirates farm system was the worst in baseball. Supposedly the new regime decided last year when they took over to blow whole thing up and rebuild from scratch with prospects. Since they had no luck otherwise, it should buy them a few years worth of support from fans. But Fred still not hopeful.

Fred heard a story on the radio this morning about a man in South Carolina who was busted for having uh...relations with a horse. And apparently it was not the first time he was caught doing the uh...deed. Could this be the long lost Equinas?
-
The D Backs bullpen has a long and very proud history of bending Haron over a table on days when he pitches. Also the bats like to take a vacation when he throws. If they get out of this with a split I'll take that as good and move on. Man do I hate 4 game series.
-
And yes you can judge a maovie by how it looks Conti is right about that. (as if its a big surprise that he's right,) That's why the studios spend millions trying to convince you to go see them, isn't it? they want you to judge the merits of the movie inorder for you to decide to go see it.

Not too good defensively, not withstanding the excellent jumping into the stands catch.

it's crazy that every fucking contributor on this site
by just pillow talk
is fucking caressing Joe's balls. I just don't see how that movie could be entertaining at all. Seriously.It certainly doesn't look like it'll have great action scenes.
-
Mark Reynolds has actually improved a lot this season defensively and keeps getting better. He's cut down on strikeouts and is hitting for average and power now, plus he can knock teh cover off a ball once in a while. The big problem he's overcoming is that the Club rushed him up to the majors so he's still learning. Reynolds, Upton, Haron, Shurzer(saturdays pitcher) and Drew and a couple of other guys are the only worthwhile players the D Backs have. They might be a good nucleous to build around, I hope.
-
I start smelling a rat. a big smelly cheese eating rat. That's why I prefer Massas reviews he ususally speaks the truth while others seem to tell it like it ain't.

Because I plan on seeing GI Joe in the theater. So far I'm up to 4 movies in the theater this summer which is the most for a summer in 6 years.

but then again you aren't a site contributor so it doesn't apply to you, but still, if it makes you happy...

But then again, he is an Amoeba

yeah, and my "nucleus" of a team is 2/3 hurt. Fuckers.

And why?
-
It is the name given to the Gary Oldman TB because he 'backpedaled' on his assertion about another movie. It has been called the backpedalback, or pedlaback.
-
I'm just confused as to how and why its become a talkback monster.
-
http://tinyurl.com/lsqze2 The commentator has a point (and so does the desk anchor), but the commentator is just such an ignorant douche. I really get annoyed when these talking head types ignore valid questions lobbied at them and they instead try to twist it into an opportunity to make a point no one asked for.

Well, it appears that three or four TB'ers are talking it up
by freds_balls_in_a_mason_jar
They refuse to let it die. And nothing else has come close to it, so the beat goes on. They are having a CoC moment - sans the CoC, for the most part.
-
It just annoys the hell out of me. No one can formulate an intelligent question or argument (fuck, we think of 20 right here on the TB, just steal from us).
Plus I refuse to be involved in any of the discussions about GI JOE. I said my piece in earlier TBS, some got what I was saying and others just laughed. FIne, I am done. -
I'm on it, but mostly because it allows me to throw out quick questions or titles. The level of discourse isn't that high, unlike here (where we decided if women where borderline good enough to sleep with but still not hot - the question everyone was asking but afraid to answer).
-
---and picked up for a buck or two--1: Twister. That's right! I hadn't seen this save for a bit on TV here and there. Know what? It's goofy and it's fun and it's dated and it's nice to watch Helen Hunt, a wet white tank-top and lotsa rain. The ending is goofy and the other characters are right outta Johnny Bravo, but I had fun w/ it. 2: World Trade Center-Nick Cage gets flattened by a sky-scraper. I liked it. I think Oliver Stone really tried hard to be respectful, 9/11 and all that--it's worth your while. 3: X Files Fight the Future. This took-well two tries to get thru. It has it's moments. It's too long. It's silly. It doesn't make much sense. It's an average TV episode at best and way too late to be of interest now. I liked Scully and Moulder though. 4: The Paradine Case. Dull. Gregory Peck, Allida Valli and Louis Jourdan chew the scenery. All the stories of this being massively cut, re-shot, re-written and re-cast-well I can believe it. Hitchcock was going thru the motions here. It's OK, but it's just warmed over Rebecca, if that makes any sense. You can do better. 5: Panic Room-Jodie Foster. You know it's a goofy movie when she winds up Outside the safe-room there and Forest Whitaker winds up Inside. It was contrived, okay acted, Jared Leto was kinda funny, the daughter I thought was a Caulkin, and it doesn't add up to much. Kinda worth seeing if you don't spend much time thinking about it...
-
They have: Danny Haren, Brandon '60 Day Disabled List' Webb, Chris Young and a bunch of other guys w/ similiar initials you can't tell apart w/out DNA testing.
-
I would start laying in supplies and weapons because if I remember correctly the below Tiny url is how the book World War Z started:tinyurl.com/klu6wwBando, Fatboy Webb, of the all fatboy pitching squad, went under the knife today I think and
Chris Young stinks. Haron is very damn good though along with the folks I mentioned above. Between Reynolds and Upton the D Backs might have teh beginnings of a new Bash brothers combo without the funny juice. -

Hepburn, Grant, Colburn...I've been entertained from what I've seen so far.
-
I've seen Twister, and yes, Helen's yum-yum's are the only memorable 'assets' from that movie.Panic Room was okay, and definitely not worthy of repeat viewing.X-files 2 was not good at all. Such a mediocre effort.I have not seen the other two, and probably will never see any movie directly related to the World Trade Centers. Just something I don't want to see via movies.
-
such a sunny day out, and my desire, if you want to call that, to work is just not there. I should really be in a beer garden in Munich or some other such place.
-
Not on my fucking watch
-
Quite enjoyed it on at the cinema way back when. Watched it on video a few years later and I seriously couldn't see why I liked it. It sucks.
-
I like it. Just a very simple, straightforward thriller. And Fincher uses the camera really well, especially when teaching the audience the layout of the building. I did spend the first third of the flick thinking Foster had a boy, not a girl though.
-
This is the first one right? I Want to Believe is the second one, i think. Anyway, the first one is really good, especially in the context of the series. The second one I REALLY wanted to like, but I couldn't. I did like seeing Mulder and Scully again, but the story was shit, and I really don't know what the fuck they were going for with a main character being a paedo.
-
Yeah, the second one is shit, no matter how much wishful thinking goes on trying to convince oneself that the x-files is back.I did like the first one, in fact I own that one.
-
It was pretty good, but ultimately it didn't involve me enough. Greengrass' flick is much more affecting. It's really fucking frustrating. It's like a kick in the guts. I wouldn't watch either again, for different reasons.
-
Huzzah!

I may have to start checking out their $1 dvd rentals. I was just there last night, but there was a fucking line.

bah! why the fuck is a scifi show thread above this?
by just pillow talk
That ain't right.
-
I find it so fucking funny how quickly Vin Diesel went back to mining his hits. F&F3, Riddick3, XXX3. What? No A Man Apart 2? What a douche.
-
Stupid fucking work.
-
Disposing of shitheels always warms up the soul.
-
Does absolutely nothing for me. But I haven't seen Adventureland. She reminds me of that Skaterboy chick.
-
Over anything else Diesel wants to put out.
-
But yes, he realizes all his puts out is shit. Fucking Babylon A.D.
-
and I never saw the second one. That most definitely never piqued my interest.
-
off to the gym.
-
"Hello Clarice"
-
My loathing reached boiling point in the scene where Diesel shakes with rage while watching scientists die through x-ray specs. He looks less like he's angry, and more like he's got delhi belly.
-
I almost enjoyed, as it reached such moronic lows.
-
And I hated Mr. and Mrs. Smith by the end. What a terrible, terrible third act. I can't believe it got greenlit without any real resolution. I hear the screenwriter wrote it as his final project in college, and it shows.
-
No interest.
-
Was that I was just fucking bored while watching it. And I really hated, hated, HATED that Q character who has that god-awful delivery of "Knocked over a few 7-11's, have we?" when Diesel is trying out that fancy gun. The guy just came off like such a tongue-cleaner, instead of a cool, geeky scientist you want to hang out with more.
-
is that I chose to watch it.
-
had a shithouse third act to go along with the shithouse first and second act. Fucking godawful flick. And then Vince Vaughn remade it as The Break-Up! The more I think about it, the more I reckon I hate Vince Vaughn.
-
Doesn't sound like much of a problem to me.
-
Titled, The Make-Up. Actually, now that I've said it, expect it to be greenlit next week. Helmed by Eli Roth. FUCK YOU!
-
Apart from Swingers, where he was fucking money, I really can't think of anything I thought he was good in. Maybe Wedding Crashers, but the second half of that flick fucking sucked ass so that's only half a good performance.
-
I'd actually welcome that if it meant seeing those two characters tortured to death. At least then I'd know they felt how I felt while watching the The Break Up.

But then, I like The Lost World. And he really didn't have to do much.
-
Because I'm sure he trolls this talkback looking for ideas. Note our discussions of Tobe Hooper's "The Funhouse" and then later that week he announces that he's going to remake it. Bastard.
-
Thank God there's no more Ashes discussion.
-
The first two were highly enjoyable. Weren't they talking about about doing a story of Riddicks escape from Pelican Bay or Botany bay or Tampa Bay whatever? That sounds like it had hugh potential for coolness. Although I guess that would be a sort of rehash of the escape from the Underground prison on the hot planet from Riddick 2.

Offensive, but funny. And true. Hip-hop today blows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRVqVwGWocM
-
When Hip Hop didn't blow?
-
Hip Hop can be good; it can even be great. Unfortunately, its been diluted with so much bullshit that the artists themselves perpetuate. "Let's rap about money and bitches and ho's, and wear giant gold chains and drive huge fancy cars- let's sell these objects as being what's REALLY important in life." And that's all they'll rap about. So the younger generation sees and thinks "oh, that's what I need to rap about to get famous," and so they do it and the cycle continues and gets worse and worse. And they all come across as arrogant, greedy, selfish, sexist pricks who feel like they have a lot to prove. Hip-hop is great when its used as self-expression, but so few artists do that nowadays. It doesn't help that the audience eats shit up so the producers *want* to keep putting that kind of crap out. Same thing with Nickelback. Their music blows. All sounds the same too.
-
Yeah, he was good in Swingers...and Wedding Crashers until it really turned into a chick flick...but Lost World? Really? There was nothing memorable about that performance.
-
Go into the forest and find a cave. Then find a sleeping bear. Then get a stick and poke the sleeping bear. Then sit down and wait to see if the bear gets irritated or is amused that you woke him up.

mayor who is coming under fire for dressing too "risque". First...a transgender mayor? WTF. I'm assuming that the electoral vote knew this going into his/her election. Second, doesn't dressing risque go with the territory of a transgender mayor? I would think the by-laws would have been changed to make that official or something.

nope, it was blocked by the stupid barracuda website protection software.These monkey fuckheads ain't got anything better to do.
-
I made a post last night where I said I imagine her as some lonely, ugly, overweight man or woman desperate for attention. I guess that makes me racist.
-
He's just looking for attention.
-
Maybe its blocked bc that website has other stories that feature scantily clad women at times. And that councilman story is such bullshit. I'd be up in arms if I was in that town. That's one of those "attacks on personal freedom" kind of things that Republicans should be on top of. If they weren't such hypocrites, that is.
-
I was told she called me a racist but I can't seem to find the TB where this has happened. Bc she didn't respond to me in the Ozymandias TB.

Bunch of complete wastes and an utter lack of knowledge in the areas of computers and networks. Which, in most companies, is a problem.

Its pretty great. Better than anything on his newest album, actually. Backstory: In one of his new songs, Eminem dissed Mariah. Nick Cannon, her husband, got pissed, threw out some lame insults, and then really scraped the bottom of the barrel by saying Eminem was a racist. You reaaaaaaaallly don't have an argument to fall back on when you bring out the racist card. Anyway, Eminem at first took the high road and said it was just a joke and isn't serious. But I guess the feud kept going, so Eminem just released a song he came up with, lyrics all about how he and Mariah actually *did* have a thing for a time- something Mariah denies (I guess she doesn't want Nick to find out). Anyway, here's the song on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeKjTaGv0_Y

I have another British friend who asked me if I knew anyone from there. Obviously you were one of the first people who came to mind (everyone I named was from here, actually, but you were first).

'The X-Files' remade as porn film
Monday, August 3 2009, 1:52pm EDT
By Tim Parks, Entertainment Reporter
A porn film parodying TV show The X-Files is reportedly in the works.
The New Sensation production will feature the characters of Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson), who investigated supernatural events on the popular cult sci-fi show, replaced by adult film stars.
The actress hired for Anderson's role is reported to be a spitting image of the 40-year-old, Contactmusic reports.
"Fans will be amazed. We'll have to dye our Scully's hair - but she's a dead ringer," a source said.
The plot for The X-Files - A Dark XXX Parody has not been divulged in its entirety. However, the insider said that the picture will include "a mass orgy sex scene with cult members" and "a threesome in an alley".What took so long? That's my question
-
But it wasn't really a parody of the X-Files, more of a bunch of separate bad sci-fi movies trying to cash in on the name. One episode was kind of like the X-Files with a Mulder and Scully rip-offs, but that was God awful.
Actually they all were. -

Your closer, Frankie Rodriquez, is facing the BOTTOM FUCKING THIRD of the lineup. And he promptly gives up that nice two run cushion. Game tied. Bottom of ninth...nada from los mets de nueva york. Extra innings.Short version: 5 runs later, Mets lose 12-7.I can't make this shit up. My fucking teams make the Pirates look like champs.
-
But when not on camera Christiane Amanpour is not what you would call "attractive". As for intelligent and reliable well... I'll just say out of personal experience, she's about as reliable and intelligent as the rest of that bunch, but with an accent.
-
One single post since I last posted? Shit.

Now Jon Niese, whom they just called back up, left the game early because of a leg injury? The whole fucking team gets injured all the fucking time!

Figuero. Yup, the goat who gave up 6 runs in less than 2 innings to the D-backs. Oh fucking joy.
-
negative side, the game is finished yet. Wright did hit his eighth homer. Dude needs to pick up the pace.And I'll be damned. Figuero hit a 2 run triple.
-
I said homely, which is pretty much the opposite of attractive. I always thought she was a good reporter, but I am far from an expert on the subject of how accurate she really is.
She does do nice coverage on Iran and I give her credit for doing stories on Afghanistan and the Taliban before 9/11. -

I have a sense of ownership over the nickname "Chesty Freckles" because I came up with it, and it was used on the TB until it was supplanted by Rack Bauer, I feel the need to point out that there's no "Mc" in it. Technically her whole title is "Chesty Freckles Girl FBI Agent" Tight shirt, Pnuemochest and heaving juggs are also acceptable. So is fire crotch.HOD be prepared to be disappointed by the last season of Lost. It took a page out of the last season of BSG text book and wandered right the fuck out into the woods. Except for maybe half the final and about five episodes during the season, mostly dealing with Sawyer and his merry band of travelers, this season sucked like a nuclear powered dyson vac. They were furisouly treading water and failing, hard. Keep your expectations extremely low and you should be alright and By low I mean nonexistent.Here's how they can fix all the problems Lost has and quite easily. During the first five minutes of the season opener, kill Dr. Bobblehead and Kate permanently. Those two characters and actors simultaneously suck and blow. Focus on Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Ben and The locke charcter and Hurley. Oh and Goth Claire, not regular Claire, Goth Claire. And for the love of god don't have her wailling about "whairs My BaaaaBeee"

Good luck with the online stalking.
-
I knew it. I kneeeew this is what they'd do. O'Reilly has a story on right now suggesting that the US negotiated with the terrorists of North Korea, a country that "kidnapped" our citizens. Asshole.
-
but the D backs are rolling. Won 4 of thier last 5 taking 3 from Pillows Mets and 1 from Freds Pirates. Hehe
-
I think HOD meant the final season of LOST, not the last aired season of LOST.
-
I read it as HOD is hoping the previous season of Lost won't be as big of a let down as the last season of 24. It seems to me that he was going to watch it after 24 but I could be wrong.
-
Pillows Mets won and now the Dbacks are 5 for the last 6.

Do YOU know what happened to the Perfect Getaway TB that was up? I know you have seen it as you mentioned your review there so no looking shifty and claiming you don't know what I'm talking about!
-
Top 10 here we come!
-
if you're talking about Massa's review he mentioned that he accidentally busted the embargo and it might have to come down for a few hours.

I figured you just misread it.

I got an e-mail from her telling me about all this interesting s

I say good for her. Yes she has been handed everything and has she has squandered her success, her fame and even her looks, but I for one find it hard to hold it against a young girl for having fun. Personally, I admire people with willpower BUT at her is someone who has been basically treated like royalty since she entered her teens.
Plus it isn't like she had the greatest parents. They looked at her as a meal ticket and someone to live vicariously.
I hate Paris more. At least Lindsey actually earned her fame and money, Paris literally bought it with money she inherited. -
I have any interest in. Not just because of Danny Trejo and DeNiro, but because he might make a movie ABOUT something. He might make a movie about a subject he has feelings for.
Sure it is over the top and ridiculous, but it might also be RR's statement about immigration in this country, and no matter what side you sit on about that subject at least he is making a statement and trying to say something.
What does QT and Roth ever say? That movies are cool and that gore is cool? -
I'll stop busting everyones balls about that - and thanks Continentalop and getting this back in the Top 10!
-
"I've had people write that I've seen too many movies," he's saying at the Hamlet, sometime around mint julep number three. "In what other art form would being an expert be considered a negative? If I were a poet, would I be criticized for knowing too much about Sappho? Or Aristotle?"
My response to QT is, Yes, if all you wrote was poems about Sappho or Aristotle or other poets. Because maybe you should write poems that relate to people's lives instead of being just about poetry.
And maybe you should make movies that say something more than just about other movies. You know, maybe you should learn a little bit about a thing called "life". -
A little help would be appreciated though to get us past Machete.
-
But I refuse to call it Backpedalback or whatever. It is an artificial name, a name they tried to intentionally come up with.
Baleback was organic. Spontaneous It wasn't planned, it just happened. -
Easy "Let's bump another rail and watch my collection of bikersploitation flicks. I even have all the intermission ads." Fucking giant domed jackass.
-
..but they had a massive thread of all-time-killer-songs and the only Led Zep that got a mention was 'Fool in the Rain' so it will never be a great TB (and if you are wondering it's 'In My Time of Dying' from Physical Graffiti). I won't go as far as dismissing the whole TB though - Cheeses_of_Nazareth seems a cool enough bloke even if he has been driven a little insane by holding the thing up all on his own.How many now to beat Machete TB? 6, 7 - we'll piss it!
-
To the Baleback. Sorry, but no comparison.
Baleback had DGDG, D. Vader, Kurzinski Valentine, Stuntcock Mike, caruso_stalker, TedKordLives, 6DB and a bunch of other guys posting insanely funny shit. It had Abominable Snowcone and BSB posting great fake news stories. It had me and spud mcspud writing serial novels. And it had ironic_name making graphics and comic books and gifs.
Plus we had our own language. -
also kicks arse as well
-
I see you've spent a night with the lantern-jawed freak.
-
They usually take the night shift
-
..run a little bit like the Blackadder Series'.First of all you think 4 is the best - it's the one most people reference and is usually the first one you discover. Then you find 2 and realise that your devotion was sadly misplaced and this one definitely is the one that kicks arse.Then you go through a contrary stage where you decide that, in actual fact, 1 is the best - oh its good but it is unlike the others and not many people talk about it so it seems suitably cool to champion.Then you pull your head out of your backside and realise that it was 3 all along.

Nation's Pride or whatever. Why the fuck is Harry even getting excited by that clip? It looks stupid as fucking hell.
Anything QT and Harry just starts squealing like a little girl. -

I love the Zep but none of their albums are on my fav list
by continentalop
They are on my favorite band list, but not album list. Same with the Ramones. It is just funny how that works out.
-
On my favorite artist list, but no individual record stands out. Actually, I can't even name a Hank Williams album, but man do I love his singles.
-
Keeping Twitch twitching. Bravo!
-
Maybe Droid is actually working? Me I'm sitting around watching it rain like a motherfucker I mean real wrath of god stuff.

So I can go to bed. Goodnight Youngdog and Xiphos. Xi, get some rest.

Yeah, there were some film people over at the other site doing live chat last night. Kloipy was hanging out too, talking to them.

Any consolation it is beautiful weather out here LA but I haven't been able to enjoy it one iota because I have had to stay indoors and work.

I've got to hit that place more often.

On my broomstick, I always carry Hobnobs to lob at mobs...they make such lovely sobs when fobbed. You sure I should be welcomed back? Mwa ha ha! Great to see you too!

I say "cricket-loving ponces" with love.

Maybe he meant pounce. he could think you're jumpy.

It's the middle of the afternoon. Plus they already yelled at me for napping.
-
Where you told me you were tired and had been running ragged.
-
Because I'm considering going to see GI Joe tonight.

congrats on landing the director and actor but I got to say that Messner dude seemed like a pompous jerk off to me, but I hope his movie is as good as y'all are making it seem.
-
Your still hammered don't make a bad choice that will haunt you the rest of your life.

I've already made that choice, Xi

I went to see Trannformers 2. I'm still having nightmares.
-
And pretty much everything with the site. I'm just a name nowadays trying to ease my way out a little at a time, but I decided not to dole out negative vibes since he worked so hard getting all of this stuff together. I've retired from movie reviewing. I sent my final one in to him a few days ago. Don't know when he'll post it, but that will be all folks.
-
it's everything i know about the american military.
-
Is a perfect example of what I don't like about QT. I haven't even seen this movie, but I notice something: it is about a REAL issue.
Vampire Diaries: is a horror movie about what it means to be a family.
Inglorious Basterd: Is a war movie about other fucking movies. -
Turned the PM of Australia into the serial killer he was meant to be. Go Joe!
-
One takes a frivolous subject matter and makes it about something important.
The other takes a serious subject matter and makes it about something frivolous.
I'll let you guys decide which one does which. -
Especially the mad-scientist brother. He's got this Crispin Glover thing going on.
-
Sorry I didn't know.
-
his time as a supervillian has come. we've done the east germans in the eighties, then it was south africans in the 90s. the 00s it was mostly the english. now it is the time for serial killing aussie pms.
-
Didn't really mean to throw that out there so suddenly.
-
Aug 06, 2009 4:22:52 AM CDT
Did they really not screen GI Joe for critics?
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
That has actually peaked my interest!
-
and marva is jaded about mymarva and it seems the hawian has had an affair, got back with his wife and now there is stalking going, jarv is gone and xi is, well, pretty much the same. plus my prime minister is now a serial killer. that's kinda cool actually.
-
we don't. then russel crowe fucks my wife. YOU'RE A BAD MOTHER!!!!! It's gotta hurt that that fat bastard just tossed her aside.
-
and not in a good way.
-
I'm timeless and elemental like a fine watch or a well made suit.
-
That looks good. Zahn was good in Joyride.
-
you laboriously type out your messages using a bayonet affixed to a rifle, grimacing in anger at the frustration of it all.
-
..I just posted an anal sex reference there that should kill the buzz pretty good
-
Know what-that's a pretty good movie. Dead midgets, Brenden Gleesan takes a dive, ummmm Mr. Fiennes is a real SOB and a half, and it was highly enjoyable. Shooting someone w/ a blank in the eyes. Ow.
-
I fucking love the scene with the fat American tourist chasing Colin around. Funny shit.
-
this morning?The Longest Day.Brilliant fucking film.And talk about one continuous shot scene...with the French trying to take that "O" town (the name escapes me, plus I would butcher the hell out of it anyways) and get hung up by the Germans in that Casino. Pull THAT finger.
-
Xi is right, I was talking about the most recent season of Lost. I'm only getting around to watching it now. Well, I only watched the first episode then focused my attention back on 24.Chipps, I'm not getting back with my wife. I've been sleeping on the couch for months now and I finally move out into my own place next week. She's just upset the marriage is over and when she found out who Latte Girl was, she hounded her like it was a fox hunt.I don't give a crap what anyone says, Machete will be 7 shades of awesome. I think the casting is brilliant simply because it's so bizarre.In Bruges is mint. Colin Farrell has never been better.That Lovely Bones trailer looks stellar but they give away too much of the movie. And Petey Jackson needs to get with Harry to show him how extreme weight loss is done right.
-
In the talkback, Massawyrm apologized. Gave us an "Ooops! Looks like I accidentally broke an embargo 32 hours early. Sorry for any misunderstandings, but this story may disappear soon." Embargoes are just retarded. Especially for a movie like this, which I feel isn't getting ANY sort of press, and is opening this weekend against GI JOE, which is all over the place. A Perfect Getaway could use all the press it can get, especially the positive reviews that Massa and myself gave it. Ah well. I guess it'll pop up again tomorrow.
-
Since I did peer into the thread and saw people exclaiming that it gave too much away. Not that it matters, because it'll probably be like two years before I ever see it.
-
Aug 06, 2009 8:12:13 AM CDT
see Xi...Mets are good for other teams to start their roll
by just pillow talk
Fucking Mets.
-
But I don't think that's a spoiler. Everyone I've talked to says you know who the killer is pretty much from the beginning; its no secret. I don't think the trailer gives TOO much away (I've never read it), but the last third of the trailer does take a turn that may be considered spoilerish, but I don't see how the filmmakers could have gotten away with *not* showing it. Otherwise, all we'd see is that its about a dead girl in heaven watching her family react to her death- where's the drama? What happens next? That's why they show the last 3rd, to give some sense of conflict, etc.
-

In Bruges = Best flick of 2008
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
I love it. And that's all that needs to be said.
-
I haven't watched it, and now that you guys have said that it shows too much I will just wait to see the flick.
-
You are right about embargoes on a film like Perfect Getaway - it's a small film compared to G.I. Joe so ANY word of mouth would be good.The TB seemed pretty positive as well in its response so I hope the smallprint obsessed beancounter who pulled the plug gets a proper bollocking for not, in wankspeak, 'thinking outside the box' and letting it slide in this instance when it would help shift the product.

He's just molesting poor unsuspecting beloved spanish childrens entertainers.

Even bad 24 (ie. Season 7) is better that Lost
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Fuck I hate that show.
-
watched the first few episodes being replayed on scifi. Did not like them, so I'll pass on the rest. Strangely, my life is not missing Lost.
-
even at its low points.
-
It's not like I *need* to see it.
-
you miss Jarv terribly so. You're like a lost soul wandering the wastelands, without a purpose.
-
Probably THE best movie tie-in ever! http://tinyurl.com/mnpow8

I miss Jarv as much as I miss that paedo MJ
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
In other words, not at all. Unsurprisingly, I've actually gotten a whole lot more work done than usual.
-
Getting more work done?
-
There's a new DVD giveaway contest over at mymavra.com 4 DVDs of "The Vampire Diaries" (a movie, not the upcoming TV series) are up for grabs. Emails were supposed to have been sent out but some of them didn't go through, I guess. Thanks!
-
then off until Tuesday. The U.S. is all fucked up not having more vacation time. I should be getting double the days that I get now. It's fucking ridiculous, atrocious, and quite frankly scandalous. Speaking of Frankie, I wonder where the fuck he is?
-
but alas, I can no longer access your site. It's fucking stupid, the stupid dickwad flamingo fucking IT monkey fucktards.
-
If monkeys are fucking flamingos at your workplace, then you have more then enough to keep you busy without worrying about what's going on at the website!
-
Next week I will get 2 nights off in a row (Tuesday and Wednesday nights). It will be the first time that's happened this year. I'm looking forward to it. Real vacation next year is an absolute must!
-
24 is always entertaining. Anything so ridiculous and preposterous can't help but entertain you. I just don't know how long they can keep up the premise that every season Jack gets framed for something but at the end of the day always saves the world but people continue to doubt his loyalty to them and his country. At some point he'd snap and tell everyone to eat shit and stop the terrorist attack themselves.
-
It would actually show some character progression since any human could never take that much shit up the ass for that long, and not say enough is enough and completely lose it.
-
have been known to fuck a pink bird now and again.Monitoring bastards.
-
Will it make me a traitor to the CoC if my vacation next year potentially involves an IT guy (not one of yours)? I'll scope him out for pink feathers and monkey poo before I leave, but, damn son, I NEED a vacation, lol!

Hey Conti, I'm thinking Robert Rodriguez reads this TB now too
by d.vader
First Eli Roth reading our discussion about Tobe Hooper's "The Funhouse" and deciding to remake it now, now Robert Rodriguez reads our discussion about actors we'd like to work with and takes Conti's idea. Remember, we had this convo about who we'd like to work with, and Conti said he'd work with Lohan bc she's so washed up. If he could squeeze a good performance out of her now, where she's at her lowest point, he'd get a lot of praise and recognition. Looks like RR liked your idea and took it and ran with it.

Tastes fresh and looks great!
